Bollywood actor Pankaj Tripathi’s brother-in-law Rajesh Tiwari (known as Munna Tiwari) died, and sister Sabita Tiwari was injured, in a car accident that took place near Nirsa Chowk on GT Road in Dhanbad on Saturday evening, officials said.
Rajesh and his wife Savita were travelling from Gopalganj, Bihar, to Chittaranjan in West Bengal. The accident took place at around 4:30 PM on Saturday at Nirsa Bazar on the Delhi-Kolkata National Highway-2.
The two were headed to West Bengal from Gopalganj district to watch the shooting of Pankaj Tripathi’s film.
Following the accident, the two were rushed to Shahid Nirmal Mahto Medical College Hospital (SNMMCH) in Dhanbad. However, the actor’s brother-in-law was declared dead upon arrival. His sister, who suffered a leg fracture, is now stable.
According to a source, the accident took place as Rajesh, who was driving the car, tried to avoid an auto at Nirsa Chowk, and lost control of his car, causing it to climb onto a three-foot-high divider.
Known for his roles in series like Sacred Games, Mirzapur, and Criminal Justice., Pankaj Tripathi was last seen in Netflix’s Murder Mubarak and Main Atal Hoon. He also starred in the 2021 OTT film Kaagaz, directed by the late Satish Kaushik and produced by Salman Khan and Nishant Kaushik under Salman Khan Films and The Satish Kaushik Entertainment Production.

Under the NBS, newborns are screened for communication disorders before they are discharged from the hospital. For this, AIISH has collaborated with several hospitals to conduct screening which is performed to detect hearing impairment and other developmental disabilities that can affect speech and language development. The screening has been helping in early intervention for those identified with the disorders, as any delay in the identification poses risk and affects successful management of children with hearing loss, according to AIISH.
