Pataudi: Man run over by vehicle hit by bull, dies

Gurugram: A man was killed in an accident on Gurugram Road in Pataudi on Saturday night. Krishna Kumar (35) was returning home to Janaula village after closing his mobile phone showroom in Pataudi main market when a bull came on the road and hit him. Kumar fell from his motorbike and was run over by an incoming vehicle, police said on Monday.

He was rushed to the Community Health Centre (CHC) in Pataudi but was declared dead on arrival. Kumar sustained multiple injuries to his head and succumbed to excessive bleeding. Staff at the health centre contacted the police and reported the incident.

Kumar’s uncle, Chandra Singh, registered an FIR against unidentified drivers under sections 279 (rash driving) and 304A (causing death by negligence) of the Indian Penal Code at Pataudi police station on Sunday morning.

“He lay bleeding on the road for more than half an hour. Had anyone come to his help, or rushed him to a hospital on time, informing the police or family members, Kumar might have been alive. The delay in getting timely treatment proved fatal for him,” Singh alleged.

According to him, Kumar’s cousin, Trilok, was returning home via the same route when he spotted him lying on the road.

“Trilok informed us and rushed him to the CHC, but it was too late,” Singh said.

Rajesh Deepak, assistant sub-inspector of police, who is investigating the case, said that Kumar was not wearing a helmet. “A bull had suddenly come on the road which was the main cause of the accident,” he informed.
