Tragic Road Accident in Hisar Claims Life of Fatehabad CIA Head Constable
A devastating road accident in Hisar district has resulted in the death of a head constable from the Fatehabad Crime Investigation Agency (CIA) team and left another policeman seriously injured. The incident occurred in the early hours of Tuesday near Dhandhoor village, sending shockwaves through the local law enforcement community.
Details of the Fatal Collision
The tragedy unfolded around 3:30 AM when an unidentified Eicher canter, while attempting to overtake a government Bolero vehicle, allegedly swerved onto the wrong side of the road and collided head-on with the police vehicle. The impact was severe, causing critical injuries to both occupants of the Bolero.
The deceased has been identified as 40-year-old Head Constable Shamsher, a resident of Subhash Nagar in Hansi. He succumbed to his injuries at the accident scene despite immediate efforts to save him. His colleague, Constable Jasbir Singh, who was driving the vehicle at the time of the collision, sustained serious injuries and was rushed to Agroha Medical College for emergency medical treatment.
Night Operation Turns Tragic
According to official reports from the Sadar police station, the two policemen were engaged in a night operation following specific intelligence received by their unit. CIA in-charge Vedpal had dispatched them to the Sirsa toll plaza area in Hisar to investigate information about a suspicious vehicle that required verification.
After conducting surveillance in the designated area and failing to locate the vehicle in question, the officers began their return journey toward Agroha. It was during this return trip that the fatal accident occurred near the Dhandhoor bridge, turning what had been a routine investigation into a profound tragedy for the police department.
Legal Proceedings and Investigation
The Sadar police have registered a First Information Report (FIR) against the unidentified canter driver under relevant provisions of the Bhartiya Nyal Sanhita. The complaint was filed by the injured constable, Jasbir Singh, who hails from Shyamsukh village in Hisar district.
In his official statement, Constable Jasbir Singh revealed that he served as a driver with the CIA unit in Fatehabad and was accompanied by Havildar Shamsher on this particular assignment. The police have launched a comprehensive investigation to identify, locate, and apprehend the driver of the Eicher canter responsible for the collision.
Community Impact and Ongoing Developments
This incident has highlighted the risks faced by law enforcement personnel even during what might appear to be routine operations. The local police community is mourning the loss of Head Constable Shamsher while praying for the swift recovery of Constable Jasbir Singh.
Authorities have assured that the investigation will be thorough and that every effort will be made to bring the responsible party to justice. The case continues to develop as forensic teams examine the accident scene and investigators follow up on leads regarding the unidentified canter and its driver.
