A dramatic incident unfolded in Uttar Pradesh's Mau district on Wednesday when a Mahindra Scorpio lost control and crashed into a tyre shop, narrowly missing a man seated at the billing counter.

The shocking event was captured on video and has since gone viral on social media. The footage shows the Scorpio suddenly surging forward, smashing through the entrance of the shop. The man at the billing desk, who was busy processing a transaction, noticed the car just in time to react. In a split second, he fell backward, managing to avoid the full impact of the vehicle.

Although he escaped what could have been a fatal accident, the man did sustain minor injuries. The video shows him limping away from the scene, clearly shaken by the ordeal. Other workers at the shop immediately rushed to his aid, helping him move to safety.

The incident has sparked widespread attention online, with viewers expressing shock and relief that the man survived. The cause of the car losing control is yet to be determined, and local authorities are expected to investigate the incident further.

Meanwhile, in a shocking incident, approximately 3,800 bamboo poles and 36 projector lights, valued at over Rs 50 lakh, were reportedly stolen from Bhakti Path and Ram Path, areas known for their high security in Ayodhya, police revealed on Wednesday.

Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav took this opportunity to criticize the BJP-led state government, questioning the law and order situation in the sacred town.

The theft was reported by Yash Enterprises and Krishna Automobiles, the companies responsible for installing the lights under a contract awarded by the Ayodhya Development Authority. An FIR was officially registered at the Ram Janmabhoomi Police Station on August 9, following their complaint, authorities confirmed.
