Jaipur: In a tragic mishap, five members of two families were crushed to death when a truck carrying salt lost balance and fell over their car. The bodies were mutilated and the body parts of the victims were scratched off the road with brooms after the mishap. The irony was that the bodies and the car were completely buried under the truck and the sacks of salt, so police and people didn’t even know about the deaths until they removed the sacks and discovered the bodies.
