Youth, in road rage, ran SUV over 25-year-old
In a shocking incident of road rage, three young men in an inebriated state first hit a parked four wheeler and when the owner of the car protested, they ran their Bolero vehicle over him, killing him on the spot.
The incident took place late on Thursday night in the posh Gomti Nagar locality in the state capital. The three youths were driving their SUV when they hit a car parked on the side.
Arjun, 25, the car owner came out of his house on hearing the sound of the crash and protested against the erratic driving of the boys. He demanded compensation for the damages caused to his car.
According to eye witnesses, the three youths then reversed their vehicle and came back in full speed and ran their vehicle over the boy.
Arjun was immediately rushed to the Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital where he was declared brought dead. The police, meanwhile, are trying their best to conceal the identities of the youths in the car and claim that the driver alone was present in the vehicle when the incident occurred. “The vehicle was not run over Arjun but he was fatally injured when he tried to chase the vehicle. The driver is a resident of the Surendra Nagar in Gomti Nagar and he is absconding after the incident,” said a senior police official. Eye witnesses insist that the police are trying to hush up the case since the accused youth, apparently belong to influential families. They have identified one of the youths as Rajesh Tiwari. “We saw the three boys hurl abuses at Arjun when he demanded compensation. We even heard them order the driver to reverse the vehicle,” said an eyewitness.
