The children were injured while their school jeep collided with a truck while they were on their way to attend the Republic Day function of their school. Four children were killed on the spot and about a dozen injured. Later, Gandhi also visited the mortuary and condoled the families of the dead ones. The families were moved to have their leader amid them in their time of grief. Most of the children were from Ragunathpur Katahali village.
Keeping with his scheduled meeting, Gandhi then proceeded for a worker's meeting in Ahal village in his constituency and also held one-to-one meeting with the gram panchayat elected representatives and took stock of the development work in the area.
