Gurugram, May 19 -- A woman and her husband riding a motorcycle were critically injured after allegedly being hit by a speeding Bolero and falling near an uncovered roadside drain in Sector 95 on Sunday night, police said on Monday. The incident took place between 7.45 pm and 8 pm on Pataudi Road near NCR One Society when the couple were travelling on a black Bajaj Pulsar. Preliminary probe indicates the Bolero fled the spot after the collision. The motorcycle remained in the drain until Monday morning. Police said the woman sustained a severe head injury and is undergoing treatment at a hospital in Sector 90. Sandeep Turan, public relations officer of Gurugram police, said police will record the woman's statement once she is declared medically fit. Residents alleged that an eight-to-ten-foot stretch of the roadside drain had remained open for nearly a year without being covered. A large concrete slab with a manhole, allegedly removed during cleaning work, was found lying beside the drain. Ravi Trivedi, of NCR One society, said he noticed the uncovered drain a month ago and had recorded a video intending to alert officials. "By Monday night, authorities laid cover and reinforced the bar to pour concrete for covering the stretch," he said. A municipal corporation of the Manesar team, led by commissioner Pradeep Singh, inspected the site and directed officials to cover or barricade the drain. "Barricading was in place at the site. The bike hit the barricade and fell into the open drain. Inspection was done on Monday, and as per commissioner's order, a slab has now been placed," said MCM executive engineer Sushil Thakran. Thakran maintained, "They didn't fall into it."debashish karmakar...
