Noida Man Arrested After Thar SUV Rams Motorcycle, Drags It for Kilometers
A shocking incident unfolded in Greater Noida on Thursday when a man was taken into custody after his speeding Thar SUV allegedly rammed into a motorcycle and dragged it for several kilometers. The dramatic event occurred in the Thana Badalpur area, sending shockwaves through the local community.
Petrol Pump Dispute Sparks Dangerous Chase
According to police reports, the entire episode began when the driver of the SUV allegedly attempted to flee a petrol pump without paying for fuel. A quick-thinking salesman at the pump, identified as Kuldeep Sharma, immediately gave chase on his motorcycle in an attempt to stop the vehicle and recover the payment.
During this high-speed pursuit through the streets of Greater Noida, the Thar driver allegedly struck Sharma's motorcycle, causing it to fall violently to the ground. The impact was severe enough that the SUV continued moving, dragging the damaged motorcycle along for several kilometers before finally coming to a stop.
Victim Hospitalized, Suspect in Custody
The injured salesman, Kuldeep Sharma, sustained significant injuries in the collision and was promptly admitted to a nearby hospital for emergency medical treatment. Authorities have confirmed that Sharma is currently in stable condition and receiving appropriate care for his injuries.
Police have identified the accused driver as Harsh, son of Manoj, and have taken him into custody following the incident. His Thar vehicle has been officially seized by authorities as evidence, and further legal proceedings are now underway to address the multiple violations involved in this case.
Police Investigation Continues
Local authorities are conducting a thorough investigation into all aspects of the incident. Police officials stated they are examining multiple factors including:
- The circumstances surrounding the alleged fuel theft at the petrol pump
- The dangerous driving behavior that led to the collision
- The extent of damage caused to both vehicles
- Potential additional charges that may apply given the severity of the incident
This case highlights growing concerns about road safety and criminal behavior in urban areas. The fact that a dispute over fuel payment escalated into such a dangerous situation involving high-speed pursuit, collision, and vehicle dragging has raised serious questions about public safety protocols.
Authorities have emphasized that such reckless behavior on public roads will not be tolerated and that strict legal action will be taken against those who endanger others through irresponsible driving. The investigation remains active as police gather additional evidence and statements from witnesses to build a comprehensive case against the accused.
