In another hit-and-drag case, a six-year-old child was killed after being dragged under a truck for over two kilometres in Uttar Pradesh's Mahoba district. Satvik's grandfather too was also killed in the accident.
Police said that Udit Narayan Chansoria (67) and his grandson Satvik were on their way to the market when their scooter was hit by a speeding dumper truck. While Udit died on the spot, Satvik and the two-wheeler got stuck under the truck and were dragged for over two kilometres. A video of the incident has gone viral on social media. In the video, several bikes driving parallel to the truck can be seen trying to alert the driver. The truck finally stopped after bystanders put stones and boulders on the road. The irate mob caught the driver and thrashed him. A few residents even hurled bricks and stones at the truck after which the driver stopped the vehicle near Kidari gate. The boy had died by then," an eyewitness said.
As the accident was horrific, the police have booked the driver under Section 304 (culpable homicide not amounting to murder) of the IPC. Police said that Satvik’s mother is a government teacher, while his father is a pharmacist at a private hospital.
