Jaipur, Mar 22 (IANS): Rajasthan officials are probing the incident of a ride that crashed from a height of 30-feet, leaving 15 people injured in Ajmer.

The incident happened on Tuesday evening. The victims were riding a carousel when it collapsed while on its downward journey.

Locals said that there was chaos everywhere after the ride fell to the ground.

At around 6.15 p.m., 25 people were sitting in the carousel. Suddenly, the cable broke and it fell down from the height. This created chaos. 15 people, including seven children, were seriously injured and were rushed to the JLN Hospital.
