In a devastating incident caught on CCTV, a speeding car rammed into a woman and four children outside their home in the Ajay Ahuja Nagar area of Kota, Rajasthan, on the night of May 8. The car dragged the victims for nearly 10 feet before fleeing the scene. The victims—identified as 55-year-old Indra Bai and children Vivaan (7), Yashika (11), Vaishali (8), and Anisha (10)—sustained severe injuries, with all currently undergoing treatment in hospitals.
The shocking incident occurred around 9 PM, while the children were playing and fixing a bicycle chain outside their home and Indra Bai sat nearby. Without warning, a speeding vehicle barreled into the group. Locals rushed to the scene upon hearing screams and chaos, and though the driver was momentarily caught by bystanders, he managed to escape during the confusion.

According to Bunty Rathore, a resident of the area and son of the injured woman, the children involved were his nephew and niece—Vivaan and Yashika—and their neighbors Vaishali and her cousin Anisha. CCTV footage clearly shows the vehicle dragging the victims for a short distance after impact.
All five victims were rushed to nearby hospitals for emergency treatment. Indra Bai sustained a serious head injury and is expected to undergo surgery. Yashika had injuries on her hand and head and underwent a critical five-hour surgery. Vivaan suffered deep wounds to his hand, nose, and mouth. Vaishali was found with a fractured arm and back injuries, while Anisha sustained multiple injuries to her limbs.
