Surajkund Fair 'Tsunami' Swing Collapse Kills Inspector

A 'Tsunami' swing at the 39th Surajkund International Crafts Mela in Faridabad, India===Haryana, collapsed mid-air, resulting in the death of Inspector Jagdish Prasad and injuries to 12 others. The incident occurred on February 7, 2026, after the swing, carrying approximately 19 people, snapped and crashed. Mohammad Shakir, proprietor of Himachal Fun Care, the swing operator, and his employee Nitesh have been arrested and charged with culpable homicide. India===Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini and DGP Ajay Singhal have announced compensation for the victims and Jagdish Prasad's family, with Prasad being posthumously declared a martyr. This is the third such accident at the Surajkund fair, raising serious concerns about safety standards and regulatory oversight. Investigations by a Special Investigation Team (SIT) and a district administration committee are underway to determine responsibility and ensure compliance with safety measures. The fair continues, but the swing area remains closed.
