Gurugram, July 21 -- A 48-year-old man died after he was run over by a private bus near the entrance of the Gurugram interstate bus depot on Sunday evening, police said, adding that they arrested the bus driver on Monday.
The deceased was identified as Deepak Kumar, a resident of Bakshi Nagar in Hisar and a cab driver. He had reached Gurugram to drop passengers on Sunday, police said.
Police said that around 5.30pm, Deepak was standing near the depot's entry gate when a private bus that had arrived from Pataudi allegedly hit him while moving ahead after dropping passengers. Investigators suspect that due to excessive crowd and noise, the driver was not able to spot Deepak. He fell on the road and came under the front wheel of the bus, sustaining severe head injuries that resulted in his death at the spot.
Commuters alerted the police control room, following which a team from Sector-14 police station reached the spot. "His head was crushed, which made it impossible for visual identification," said Sandeep Turan, public relations officer of Gurugram police.
"On Monday, the bus driver, a resident of Farrukhnagar, was arrested. The bus was seized from the spot soon after the accident. CCTV cameras at the spot were being scanned to establish the sequence of events that led to the accident," he said.
On the complaint of the victim's son, an FIR was registered under Sections 106 (causing death by negligence) and 281 (rash and negligent driving) of the BNS at Sector-14 police station on Monday....
