Fatal Incident in Gurgaon's Sector 10
A tragic incident occurred in the early hours of Monday when a 36-year-old man was killed after an SUV allegedly ran over him in Sector 10, Gurgaon. The deceased has been identified as Ramji Kumar, a native of Bihar and a resident of Manesar, who worked as a labourer in the city.
Discovery of the Body
Kumar was found lying on the roadside with tyre marks visible on his body, extending from his legs to his head. A police officer stated that the pattern of injuries suggested the involvement of an SUV-type vehicle. "Tyre marks are visible on the body from his leg to his head. It is believed to be an SUV, as if it were a heavy vehicle, it would have crushed him," the officer explained.
Background of the Victim
According to police, Kumar's family reported that he was addicted to alcohol. He left his home in Manesar around 4 pm on Sunday and did not return. Initially, his family assumed he might be drinking with friends and would come back later. However, he never returned.
Police Investigation
Police received information about the incident around 4 am on Monday. A mobile phone recovered from Kumar enabled authorities to trace his family, who were then informed of the accident. Investigators checked CCTV footage from nearby areas to identify the vehicle involved, but the vehicle could not be traced. "Several vehicles pass through the area during those hours as cars and heavy vehicles move towards Khandsa Mandi. The incident has not been captured in any of the CCTV cameras checked so far," the officer said.
Possible Scenarios
Investigators are also exploring the possibility that Kumar may have fallen on the road due to heavy intoxication and was later run over by a vehicle. Police noted that there were no major external injuries apart from the tyre marks on his body.
