Union Home Minister Amit Shah had a narrow escape on Tuesday when a ‘rath’ in which he was travelling came in contact with an electricity wire in Rajasthan’s Nagaur.
The incident occurred when Shah’s cavalcade was moving to Parbatsar from Bidiyad village to address an election rally. While passing through a lane with shops and houses on both sides in Parbatsar, the upper portion of his ‘rath’ (specially designed vehicle) touched the power line which led to a spark and the subsequent snapping of the wire.
