Jaipur, January 27, 2026: A speeding Mahindra Thar SUV collided with four vehicles outside the Rajasthan Legislative Assembly in Jaipur on Monday night, causing extensive damage to the cars but, fortunately, no injuries or loss of life were reported, police said.
According to eyewitnesses, the white Thar was heading towards the area near Rajasthan University and Amar Jawan Jyoti when it lost control and rammed into the stationary and moving vehicles one after another. The impact was severe enough to badly damage all four cars involved.
Multiple people at the scene recorded the chaotic moments and shared videos on social media soon after the incident. The driver, identified as a young man named Bharat from Ajmer, was reportedly talking on his mobile phone before the crash, which may have contributed to the loss of control, witnesses said.

The damaged Thar has been seized by police, and the driver is being questioned as part of the ongoing investigation. Authorities are reviewing statements and evidence to determine the exact cause of the crash.
Officials also noted that this was the fourth Thar-related accident in Jaipur in the past month, highlighting growing concerns over reckless driving involving such vehicles in the city.
