Vikaspuri Horror: Gate Snaps on 'Mixer Ride', Two Injured
Two people were injured after a security gate broke on a mixer ride at Delhi's Vikaspuri Dussehra Ground. Police have registered a case.
A night of celebration turned into a nightmare at the Dussehra Ground in New Delhi's Vikaspuri area after a malfunction on a carnival ride left two people injured. The victims were thrown from a popular attraction known as the Vikaspuri mixer ride accident after a critical security gate failed and broke apart.
Midnight Chaos at the Carnival
The incident occurred in the early hours of October 20, 2026. According to police reports, the emergency was reported at approximately 01:36 AM at the Dussehra Ground located in F Block, Vikaspuri. The "Mixer," a high-thrill carnival ride, was in operation when the security gate suddenly gave way, leading to the fall of two passengers.
The victims sustained injuries during the fall and were immediately rushed to Mata Chanan Devi Hospital for emergency medical care. Due to the nature of their injuries, they were later shifted to RML Hospital, where they are currently receiving further treatment.
Police Launch Investigation
The Delhi Police acted swiftly following the report. The Mobile Crime Team visited the site to conduct a thorough inspection of the ride's machinery and the broken gate to determine the cause of the mechanical failure.
A formal case has been registered at the Vikaspuri Police Station under the provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). Authorities are now investigating whether the accident was a result of poor maintenance, overloading, or a manufacturing defect in the ride's safety mechanisms.
