In the scorching heat of Maharashtra’s political arena, the western region of the state emerges as the battleground where alliances are forged, loyalties tested, and strategies deployed with surgical precision.
Five wrestlers and a driver were killed in a major road accident in Sangli district of Maharahstra early on Saturday, police said.
The accident took place around 1 a.m. when an SUV carrying the grapplers rammed headlong into an oncoming tractor carrying sugarcane.
Five others, including wrestlers, were injured in the accident and they were admitted in hospitals.
