A troubling pattern of accidents on the Udaipur-Kurabad Bambora road near Bhutiya village in Rajasthan has alarmed local residents and travelers. A recently viral CCTV video, documenting incidents from October 2022 to August 2024, highlights the dangers faced by drivers in this area. The footage reveals a range of accidents, many attributed to the presence of stray dogs and cattle, leading to various degrees of injury among those involved. While some individuals managed to continue their journeys with minor injuries, others suffered more serious harm. The alarming frequency of these accidents has prompted social media users to call for action against cattle owners who allow their animals to roam freely. Suggestions have also emerged for the installation of speed breakers at this hazardous location to mitigate the risk of further incidents. In the wake of the viral video, speculation has arisen regarding the potential for supernatural explanations, with some users humorously suggesting that the area might be haunted.

A 2022 study by an insurance company identified stray animals as the second leading cause of accidents, with dogs accounting for 58% of such incidents and cattle for 25.4%. The ongoing situation raises critical questions about road safety and animal control in the region.
