A close associate of former Rudrapur MLA Rajkumar Thukral, 28-year-old Bunty Koli, died in an accident during a wedding procession on Monday night. The procession, en route from Rampur to Bilari in Uttar Pradesh, faced tragedy near Shahbad when Koli’s car collided with a stationary tractor trolley laden with sugarcane at around 10:15 pm.
According to Rampur Police, Bunty Koli was traveling with three friends to attend Akash Kumar’s wedding. “The impact of the collision was severe, and the car was shattered,” a police spokesperson said. Koli, seated next to the driver, died on the spot, while three others, including the groom’s brother, sustained minor injuries. Koli’s body was returned to Rampura after a post-mortem on Tuesday.
Former MLA Rajkumar Thukral was unable to hold back his tears after the sudden death of the young man he had treated like a son for the past 13 years. He broke down several times during the last rituals of Koli held at Rudrapur.
