On Sunday, November 3rd, 2025, a tragic road accident near Matoda in Phalodi, Rajasthan, claimed the lives of four members of the Sankhla family from Jodhpur's Nainchi Bagh. The victims include Moti Lal Sankhla's two daughters-in-law, Geeta (50) and Urmila (55), his grandson's wife, Sania (32), and his great-granddaughter, Daksha (6). The accident also left another family member, Gunjan, the wife of another grandson, fighting for her life in a local hospital.
The morning had started with prayers and excitement as the Sankhla family bid farewell to the women embarking on a pilgrimage to Bikaner's Kolayat temple. However, the joyous occasion turned to heart-wrenching grief when the news of the tragic accident reached the family later that night. The once-bustling Sankhla household has now been silenced by an unbearable gloom that has enveloped not just the family, but the entire Nainchi Bagh community, where 12 of the victims resided.
