An early Wednesday accident in Karol Bagh saw a sleeper bus from Jaipur tragically overturn while negotiating a sharp turn near Hanuman Mandir, leaving two passengers dead and injuring 23 others, officials reported.

The accident occurred around 1 am when the Delhi-bound bus, carrying around 30 passengers, lost control at a roundabout in Jhandewalan. Deputy Commissioner of Police (Central) Rohit Rajbir Singh confirmed that a PCR call had alerted police to the trapped passengers.

Rescue efforts were swiftly initiated by the Karol Bagh police, Delhi Fire Services, and local volunteers. The bus driver, now detained and under investigation, allegedly swerved to avoid an auto-rickshaw, causing the overturn. Visuals showed severe damage with shattered glass littering the scene.
