According to media reports, A Border Security Force (BSF) jawan lost his life when a speeding car overturned inside the Chenani-Nashri Tunnel. The victim was shifted to CHC Chenani, but he succumbed to his injuries on the way to the hospital. It was not a targeted killing; it was an accident.

As per the report, Police says, the Xylo car, bearing registration number JK01P-7905 was on its way from Srinagar towards Udhampur when it turned turtle due to overspeeding, resulting into serious head injury to one passenger.
