Sand Mafia vs Mahindra Thar
The sand mafia is a big challenge in Rajasthan where these people steal sand and transport them illegally for making personal gains. The police are aware of this situation and keep arresting such criminals from time to time. This video has been shared by Prateek Singh on his YouTube channel. He keeps uploading video clips of accidents of popular cars to let the viewers know how well a vehicle performs in such unfortunate situations. The visuals show a dumper almost running the Thar over. According to the details, two people jumped out of the Thar before the crash. But two other people suffered some injuries. Thankfully, though, there was no loss of life. The damage to the Thar is also clearly visible.
Being the last generation Thar, the safety equipment seen on latest model was not available. The body strength is also not impressive. Also, it is the soft-top version which means that the metal roof is not there. As a result, the damage sustained from the front door to the rear is significant. The A and B-pillars and doors are completely deformed and the vehicle is seen turned over on the road. But things are completely different with the current version of the Thar. The airbags, ABS and parking sensors are mandatory in newer cars but Mahindra has also worked on the body of the Thar which is why it has a safety rating of 4 stars now.
