The incident took place near Nakoda sweet shop in Balotra in Barmer district on June 14.

While traveling on Balotra Road near Nakoda Sweets, he had to brake abruptly due to concrete on the road, causing his bike to skid. A Scorpio approaching from the opposite direction braked suddenly upon seeing Bhayal slip. Despite the rapid response, the front tire of the Scorpio ran over Bhayal’s hand, inflicting minor injuries.
Bhayal signaled the Scorpio driver to reverse, allowing him to free his hand and stand up with the help of bystanders. He was promptly taken to Sivana Hospital, where he received primary treatment and was discharged shortly afterward. The Scorpio driver was en route to a wedding procession.
