bhondsi: boy, 8, crushed under reversing school van
Gurugram, April 8 -- An eight-year-old boy died on Monday after he stumbled and fell on the ground and came under the wheels of a school van, which was reversing in Maruti Kunj, Bhondsi, a police officer said on Tuesday.
The 29-year-old driver, a resident of Motihari in Bihar's East Champaran district, who fled from the spot, was arrested on Tuesday night, police said. The deceased was identified as Shivansh Tripathi, and was a Class 1 student at a private school, officers added.
Police said the boy had gone to a neighbourhood shop to purchase chocolate after returning from school. On his way back home, he stumbled after hitting a brick on the road and fell right behind the van, which was reversing, leaving him trapped and critically injured. Neighbours pulled him out and alerted the family, who rushed him to a private hospital in Sector 38, where doctors declared him dead on arrival, said Sandeep Turan, public relations officer of Gurugram police.
"The boy was running to return home with chocolates. He accidentally lost his balance and fell. It appears that the driver failed to spot the boy and drove over him while reversing. The driver fled from the spot soon after the accident, leaving the boy trapped," Turan said.
The entire accident was captured on CCTV. At least four students were inside the van at the time, officers confirmed.
On the complaint of the deceased's father, an FIR was registered against the driver under sections 106 (causing death by negligence) and 281 (rash driving) of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita at Bhondsi police station on Monday....
