On a highway in Uttar Pradesh, a group of seven villagers returning from a sacred temple visit met with sudden violence when a truck struck their tempo near Sarmadih, claiming the lives of Shubham Rajbhar, just fifteen years old, and Ramashish Rajbhar, forty. Five others survived with injuries, while the truck's driver vanished into the anonymity of the road. The incident is a quiet reminder that the journey home from devotion is not always safe, and that accountability on busy highways remains an unfinished human obligation.
