AGRA: A speeding car dragged a 25-year-old man’s body for almost 11 km on the Yamuna Expressway before stopping near a Mathura toll block on Tuesday morning.
According to police personnel privy to the case, the car was going towards Noida from Agra when the body of the man, stuck on the left side rear wheel, caught the attention of security personnel at a toll booth in Mathura’s Mant area.
Police recovered the badly mangled body parts and sent for postmortem.
‘Accident likely to have occurred near milestone 106’
Additional superintendent of police, Trigun Bisen, said, “The victim has been identified as Rijpal Singh (25), a resident of Urenga village under the jurisdiction of Bakewar police station of Etawah district. He used to work as a driver with a private courier company in Delhi and met with an accident while returning to his native place during the wee hours on Tuesday.” He added, “The accused, Virendra Singh, who was driving a car with Delhi registration number, is being interrogated. CCTV cameras on the expressway are also being examined.” During questioning, the suspected accused told the police that “due to dense fog, visibility on the expressway was low, hence, the man who had met with an accident got stuck with the car”. Following a preliminary investigation, police found blood stains near milestone 106 of the expressway, which is around 11 km away from the toll plaza where the car was spotted.
SHO (Mant) Pradeep Kumar Yadav, “The accident is likely to have occurred near milestone 106. We are trying to ascertain whether the victim was hit by the car in question or some other vehicle as the front part of the car did not have any signs of damage on it. On the basis of the complaint received from the victim’s family, an FIR will be registered.” In a similar incident, a 49-year-old man on a scooter was dragged by a tractortrailer for over 100 metres on the Agra-Delhi highway near ISBT bus stand in Agra on Tuesday morning. The person died on the spot and the driver fled the scene. The victim was identified as Aanjai Surana, a silver trader from Khandari locality. An FIR has been registered against the driver, police said.
