Eleven people, many of them in their teens, were killed and 19 injured in Champawat district of Uttarakhand when a speeding truck rammed into a group of pilgrims walking to the Purnagiri temple.
The pilgrims from Bareilly in Uttar Pradesh were on their way to the hilltop temple, well known in the region, when they were knocked down by a dumper truck coming from behind.
The accident took place at 5am at Bichai, Tanakpur sub-divisional magistrate Anil Chanyal said.
Nine pilgrims were killed on the spot and two others succumbed to their injuries while being taken to hospital, the district disaster management office in Champawat said.
The group was following the `dolas’ (palanquins) of Purnagiri Devi, placed on two tractors, when the accident happened, the Tanakpur SDM said.
The devotees, still about 30 km from the temple, were traveling on foot as a mark of gratitude towards the deity for fulfilling their wishes, he said.”
3rd – A Woman bleeding from head
Although the original credible source couldn’t be found but the photo is old
The following one was posted on 2nd April 2018 on Google Plus, so is certainly not what the Fake posts are claiming i.e this week from Bhagalpur, although this photo could be much older than April 2018 too.
4th – The Videos original source couldn’t be traced but were posted on YouTube on in March 2018 or before so is not from July 2018 as they claim
