An elderly woman was tragically killed in a road accident in Lucknow, the state capital, just one day after a nine-year-old lost their life to reckless driving. The incident occurred in the upscale Hazratganj market in front of the multi-level parking area on Wednesday afternoon.
The victim, identified as Rahila Khan, 64, was riding a two-wheeler when she lost her balance and fell in front of a Lucknow Municipal Corporation (LMC) tanker. Tragically, the tanker ran over her, crushing her head and causing instant death. Vikram Singh, inspector in-charge of Hazratganj police station, confirmed the details of the incident.

The body of Rahila Khan has been sent to Civil Hospital for a post-mortem examination, and her family has been informed about the tragic accident. The driver of the LMC tanker, Mazhar Khan, has been arrested under Indian Penal Code (IPC) sections 279 and 304-A, which pertain to reckless driving and causing death due to negligent driving, respectively.
This incident comes on the heels of another tragic accident that occurred on Tuesday morning. Naimish Krishna, the nine-year-old son of woman additional superintendent of police (ASP) Shweta Srivastava, was hit by an SUV driven by two youths on G20 road, behind Janeshwar Mishra Park. The brash driving resulted in the young boy losing his life.
These two incidents highlight the ongoing issue of reckless driving in Lucknow and the need for stricter enforcement of traffic rules. Authorities have been urged to take immediate action to prevent further loss of life on the city’s roads. The deaths of Rahila Khan and Naimish Krishna have left their families devastated and serve as a stark reminder of the consequences of irresponsible driving.
