Eight members of a family including five children were killed in a tragic road accident when an ill-fated vehicle skidded off the road and fell into a deep gorge on the Sinthan Top-Kokernag Road in south Kashmir’s Anantnag district.
Reports said that the driver of the ill-fated Maruti Swift car bearing registration number JK03H9017 lost control and rolled down near Aarshan Hut, about 20 km from Daksum Naka in south Kashmir.
An official stated that all eight passengers died instantly. Due to poor network connectivity in the area, it took some time to inform the district administration in Anantnag. Once informed, medical, police, and CRPF teams, along with local residents, rushed to the scene. Sadly, all occupants were found dead, and their bodies were transported to SDH Kokernag.
