A tragic accident claimed the life of 45-year-old Lal Bahadur Yadav when a signboard pole fell on his car in Uttar Pradesh's Pratapgarh district. The incident happened at a petrol pump in Babuganj as a hydra machine was being used for installation.

The Additional Superintendent of Police (East), Shailendra Lal, reported that the strap of the hydra machine snapped, causing the pole to fall onto Yadav's passing vehicle. Trapped in his car, Yadav sustained critical injuries and later succumbed to them at the hospital.

A case has been registered against unidentified individuals associated with the petrol pump based on a complaint from Yadav's brother. Speculations about Yadav's political affiliations have surfaced, but party officials have yet to confirm these connections. Meanwhile, investigations continue into the accident.
