Lucknow Divisional Commissioner Roshan Jacob broke down in tears while taking stock of the situation at a hospital where the injured were under observation.
AS officers are often known for their tough behavior and composure during difficult situations. However, Lakhimpur witnessed a different side, when Divisional Commissioner Dr. Roshan Jacob couldn’t hold her tears back during her visit to a hospital after a head-on collision between a private bus and a mini-truck in the city on Wednesday claimed at least 10 lives and injured many.

Speaking to the hospital authorities over the condition of a child critically injured in the accident, Jacob can be heard asking why no one has examined the patient yet. After a person assures that he had just examined the patient, the IAS officer wonders if the child has suffered a fracture as he can’t move.
“Isko kuchh zarurat hai na…ye hil nahi paa raha hai…kuch fracture hoga yahan pe. (He is in need of something…he is unable to move…may be there’s a fracture.)”
She also inquired with the authorities whether a doctor can be called in there instead of referring the patient since the family cannot afford the cost.
