Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP
) Madhav Kumar Kafle said that 10 people have died in the accident and rescue operations are underway.
He said, “An EV vehicle with registration number State 03-001 Ja 0880 fell down about 500 meters when it met with an accident at Bhimphedi Rural Municipality at around 6:45 am. So far, six injured have been brought to Hetauda Hospital for treatment, while 10 have died. The bodies of four of them have been brought to the district hospital.

A total of 27 Nepal Police personnel, 10 Armed Police Force (APF) and 10 Nepal Army personnel have been deployed for the rescue operation.
The Nepal Police battalion has mobilized 15 security personnel for the rescue operation, said the police personnel.
Kafle also informed that the identity of the injured and the deceased is underway. The cause of the accident is yet to be ascertained. He suspects that the accident may have occurred due to the driver’s lack of sleep.
He said, “It is not possible to say that this is the reason for the accident. However, I guess that the driver of the EV vehicle drove to Kathmandu last evening and drove from there around 1-2 am today. Now we are investigating whether this is the reason. ’
