Indian Idol 12 winner Pawandeep Rajan met with a serious road accident on May 5th near Moradabad, Uttar Pradesh, while enroute to Delhi to catch a flight to Ahmedabad for an event. The accident took place early in the morning when the vehicle he was travelling in—an MG Hector—collided with the rear of an Eicher Canter lorry. According to the official investigation, the car’s driver, Rahul Singh, reportedly fell asleep behind the wheel, causing the accident.
Travelling with him were his close friend Ajay Mehra and the driver. Following the crash, Pawandeep was rushed to a nearby medical facility, where he underwent his first emergency operation. However, due to the severity of his injuries, he was later shifted to a more equipped hospital in Delhi NCR.
The singer’s team issued a formal statement via his Instagram handle, updating fans on his health. “Hi everyone, as you all are aware that Pawandeep Rajan met with a tragic road accident on 5th May early morning near Moradabad, UP… He has suffered with multiple major fractures and few small injuries,” the statement said.
The note also mentioned that Pawandeep was in critical pain and unconscious for most of the day. After a thorough diagnosis, he was taken into the operation theatre around 7 PM. “After 6 hours, some of his major fractures have been operated on successfully and he is currently in Medical ICU under observation. Post 3-4 days rest he will again be operated for the rest of the fractures and injuries,” the team added.
Describing May 5th as a “very difficult and hard day for the family and all his well-wishers,” the team expressed gratitude for the support and prayers pouring in from across the country. The singer, who gained immense popularity for his soulful voice and humility during Indian Idol 12, remains under strict medical observation.
