Pankaj Tripathi’s brother-in-law killed in road accident; sister stable

In a heartbreaking turn of events, Bollywood actor Pankaj Tripathi’s family faced a devastating loss as his brother-in-law, Rajesh Tiwari, known affectionately as Munna Tiwari, met with a fatal accident. The incident occurred near Nirsa Chowk on GT Road in Dhanbad, casting a shadow of grief over the entire family.

Rajesh and his wife Sabita Tiwari were on their way from Gopalganj, Bihar, to Chittaranjan, West Bengal. Tragically, the journey took a tragic turn around 4:30 PM on Saturday at Nirsa Bazar on the bustling Delhi-Kolkata National Highway-2.

The purpose of their trip was to witness the shooting of an upcoming film featuring Pankaj Tripathi, adding an extra layer of sorrow to the unfortunate circumstances.

Following the accident, both Rajesh and Sabita were promptly rushed to the Shahid Nirmal Mahto Medical College Hospital (SNMMCH) in Dhanbad. However, despite the efforts of medical personnel, Rajesh succumbed to his injuries upon arrival. Sabita, though injured with a leg fracture, is currently in stable condition.

Reports suggest that the accident occurred as Rajesh, behind the wheel, swerved to avoid an auto at Nirsa Chowk, leading to a loss of control over their vehicle. This resulted in their car mounting a three-foot-high divider, causing the tragic outcome.

From his notable roles in Netflix’s ‘Sacred Games’ and ‘Mirzapur’ to his recent ventures like ‘Murder Mubarak’ and ‘Main Atal Hoon,’ Tripathi has left an indelible mark on audiences worldwide.
