In a tragic incident in Kalamna, Nagpur, a four-year-old boy was seriously injured when a speeding motorcycle struck him. The accident occurred while the family was attending a neighbor's wedding on Monday, leading to the boy sustaining a fracture in his left leg along with injuries to his head, left eye, and ear.
