A man and three children were killed and their bodies mutilated after they were run over by a speeding truck and dragged by the vehicle on Nuh-Tauru road in Nuh late Tuesday, police said on Wednesday.
They later alerted the police control room following which police and emergency response vehicles rushed to the spot. “The driver had abandoned the truck away from the spot which was later seized. He will be arrested soon,” he added.
On the family’s complaint, an FIR was registered against the unidentified truck driver under section 106 (causing death by negligence) and 281 (rash driving) of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita at City police station in Nuh on Wednesday.
Police said the victim’s wife was also critically injured in the accident and is undergoing treatment. The accident took place around 11pm near Maria Manzil School on the Nuh-Tauru road, police said. Police said Shakir’s wife Nasreen has been admitted at Shaheed Hasan Khan government medical college and hospital in Nalhar, Nuh. Shakir was an Urdu language teacher in a madrasa in Tauru and was riding the motorcycle with the four children and wife to return home from a family function at a relative’s house when the accident took place, the police said. Investigators said commuters rushed to the spot but could do little since four people died on the spot. SHO Singh said all four bodies were shifted to a government hospital in Nalhar from where they will be handed over to the concerned family after autopsy.
