Video: Crane Crash At Maharana Pratap's Birth Anniversary Event In Bhopal

Jitendra Singh Rajput, the councillor for Bhopal's Ward 66, was in the crane with his uncle.

A Bhopal councillor had a close shave when a crane carrying him up to garland a statue of Maharana Pratap in Bhopal on his birth anniversary collapsed and dropped 20 feet. 

Jitendra Singh Rajput, the councillor for Bhopal's Ward 66, was in the crane with his uncle. One of them was seen gesturing to the crane operator to keep going up.

As the lift reached the statue and the councillor leaned forward to place a garland on it, the lift came crashing down as the welding on the lift broke.
