Honda City Crushed Victims In Greater Noida

Gaurav Sharma, a resident of Kondli Bangar village under the Knowledge Park police station limits, had gone shopping with his family in his Bolero car. While returning, shortly after crossing the zero point of the Yamuna Expressway, the vehicle ran out of diesel. Gaurav sent his family members home in an e-rickshaw, while his elder brother Manoj Sharma’s son remained seated in the car. Gaurav then called his elder brother Manoj, who runs a momo stall near Kondli village, to bring diesel.

As the two brothers were pouring diesel into the vehicle, a speeding Honda City car hit and crushed them. Locals rushed to the spot after the accident. The police shifted the injured to a private hospital, where doctors declared them dead. The bodies were sent for post-mortem after completing legal formalities.

Hit-And-Run Accused Arrested

Greater Noida ADCP Sudhir Kumar informed them that the accused had been arrested and assured them that compensation would be provided at the earliest.

The tragedy has plunged the family into deep grief. Manoj Sharma is survived by four children, while Gaurav Sharma leaves behind one daughter and two sons. Manoj’s sister, a resident of Jalpura, was scheduled to arrive for a family ceremony, preparations for which had prompted Gaurav to go shopping with his family. The joyous occasion turned into mourning after the incident.

The accused driver, who fled the scene after the accident, was later tracked through electronic surveillance. Police arrested Siddharth Katyayan, a resident of Lots Zink Society in Sector-168, and seized the car involved.
