A businessman out for a morning cycling routine was killed in a hit-and-run incident in Gurugram’s DLF Phase-2 on Wednesday, December 3. The victim, identified as Amitabh Jain, was struck by a speeding Hyundai Santro bearing a Delhi number plate. CCTV cameras captured the moment the car rammed into him from behind, leaving him critically injured. Despite being rushed for help, he did not survive. Gurugram Police have traced the vehicle number and address linked to the car, but the accused driver remains absconding along with the Santro.

CCTV Shows High-Speed Impact

The incident occurred at around 7:15 am when Amitabh Jain set out on his cycle as part of his regular morning routine. CCTV footage shows him riding along the edge of the road when a fast-moving Santro approaches from behind and hits him with significant force. The collision throws him onto the road, leaving him severely injured. Moments later, the driver flees the scene in the same vehicle without stopping to help.

Police registered a case immediately after reviewing the footage and have launched a detailed investigation. Officers continue to analyse the CCTV recordings to establish the exact sequence of events.
