B’luru: Another case of outrageous driving, delivery boy’s body dragged for 100m after accident
Bengaluru: A delivery boy lost his life in a devastating hit-and-run accident near Rajarajeshwari Nagar Metro Station on Sunday night, according to police reports. The victim, identified as Prasanna Kumar, hailed from H.D. Kote in Mysore district and worked as a delivery boy for a popular food delivery app.
The incident occurred late at night when a car collided with Prasanna's bike from behind, resulting in a horrific accident. Shockingly, the car did not stop after the collision, dragging the young man's body for nearly 100 meters. The driver, identified as Vinayak, was eventually apprehended by an outraged public and handed over to the police.
Preliminary investigations revealed that Vinayak, employed as a sales executive at a local car showroom, had recently received an incentive and decided to celebrate with his friends. Unfortunately, they were reportedly intoxicated as they traveled in the car, which also included three female passengers. Their intention was to drop off one of their friends in Rajarajeshwari Nagar.
Eyewitnesses recounted the shocking sequence of events, stating that the car crashed into Prasanna's bike and continued to drive without stopping, dragging his lifeless body along the road. A courageous group of passers-by, who witnessed the accident, chased the car for approximately one kilometer until they managed to apprehend the driver.
Local residents informed the police that three girls and another boy who were in the car managed to flee the scene before the public intervened. Enraged by the incident, the mob damaged the car's windows and handed over the accused driver to the Byatarayanapura traffic police.
