Noida, Jan 05, 2023: In an incident similar to the Kanjhawala accident in Delhi, a food delivery executive died after a car rammed into him and dragged him for over a kilometre in Noida last Sunday.

 

Kaushal Yadav, a resident of Mainpuri in Uttar Pradesh who was working as a Swiggy delivery partner, was passing the sector 14 flyover in Noida around 1 am on New Year’s night when his bike was struck by an unidentified car.

After colliding with the two-wheeler, the car dragged the rider to Shani Temple – around 1 km from the scene of the accident – where the driver stopped the car before fleeing the scene.

The deceased man’s family has lodged a complaint at Phase 1 police station. In their complaint, they said they had called Kaushal on the night of the incident. His phone was picked up by a cab driver, who said Kaushal has been involved in an accident and was lying on the road near the Shani Temple.

A case has been registered and police have launched an investigation into the hit-and-run. CCTV footage is being scoured and the cab driver who informed the family about Kaushal is being questioned.

The accident took place just hours after a 20-year-old woman in was hit by a car and dragged for about 12 km on Delhi’s roads. The victim Anjali Singh’s body was found naked with gruesome injuries, sending shockwaves through the capital.
