Vehicles traveling behind Rahul Gandhi in his convoy collided on the Purvanchal Expressway while he was heading to court in Sultanpur, India's Hindi-language news channel Aaj Tak reports. Gandhi was unharmed and reached his destination safely, correspondent Kumar Abhishek said.

The collision occurred near Haliyapur in Uttar Pradesh. The studio anchors described an ambulance and another vehicle being involved, with damage to the front of one vehicle. Abhishek said two or three vehicles at the rear of the convoy collided.

The broadcast gives conflicting accounts of injuries. Early statements from the correspondent and anchors say nobody was hurt; a later update mentions minor injuries. Throughout the bulletin, they consistently report that Gandhi was safe and that there were no serious injuries.

Gandhi, the Congress politician who leads the opposition in India's lower house of Parliament, was traveling by road after arriving at Lucknow airport. He was due at Sultanpur court for a decision in a defamation case concerning remarks about Home Minister Amit Shah, according to the video's description. A separate upload from the broadcaster later reported that he had been acquitted.

The anchors suggest speed and the distance between vehicles contributed to the crash, while Abhishek describes vehicles becoming unsettled before colliding. These are the broadcast's explanations, rather than a conclusion attributed to investigators. The upload repeatedly loops the same short bulletin, with no substantial new information in its later sections.
