Union Law Minister and BJP leader Kiren Rijiju’s car grazed a truck on the Jammu-Srinagar National Highway in Jammu and Kashmir's Ramban district on Saturday evening, officials said.
A video surfaced on social media of the accident shows security officials at the site following the accident. No injuries were reported from the accident.
The truck suffered a breakdown and the minister's car grazed it before coming to a halt, they said.
The accident occurred near Sita Ram Passi in the Maroog area around 6 pm when Rijiju was on his way to Srinagar after attending two functions in Jammu and Udhampur, the officials said.
Security personnel in accompanying cars rushed and escorted the minister out of his vehicle. Rijiju later left for Srinagar and crossed the Banihal tunnel – the gateway to the Kashmir Valley - around 7 pm, the officials said.
