- A Tsunami swing collapsed mid-air at Surajkund Fair in Faridabad, injuring 13 people
- An on-duty police inspector died while trying to rescue people during the swing accident
- A probe was ordered to investigate the swing collapse and verify safety compliance
A video from the Surajkund Fair in Faridabad shows the Tsunami swing moments before it broke mid-air and fell to the ground on Saturday evening.
Around 15 people were on the swing when it tilted and collapsed around 6:15 pm. An on-duty police inspector died in the incident, and 13 others were injured.
The clip, about one minute long, captures the ride going in circles while people on the ground take photos and record it. As the swing keeps rotating, one side of the structure suddenly snaps, and the frame shows the ride dropping as people nearby move back in panic.
Police said the mela ground was cleared soon after the fall. District Magistrate Ayush Sinha led the rescue work with support from police and other teams. All injured were taken to hospital.
A probe has been ordered to find out how the swing broke. Officials are checking the safety measures and permissions linked to the ride.
Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Saini offered condolences to the inspector's family and directed authorities to ensure quick treatment for the injured. He said the government would provide support to the affected families.
"I am deeply saddened by the accident that occurred during the Surajkund Mela organised in Faridabad. I express my heartfelt condolences to the family of the person who lost their life in this incident. At the same time, necessary directions have been issued to the concerned authorities for the appropriate and immediate treatment of the injured individuals," the Chief Minister posted on X.
