Delhi Man Run Over By Multiple Vehicles, Body Parts Found Scattered On Jaipur Highway
The man's body was mutilated beyond recognition and the parts were scattered at various places.
In another fatal road accident in the national capital, a 35-year-old man was first mowed down by a car on the Delhi-Jaipur highway and then several other vehicles ran over the body on Friday. The man's body was mutilated beyond recognition and the parts were scattered at various places, news agency PTI reported.
With the aid of his wallet, police identified the victim as Ramesh Nayak, a resident of Mohan Garden in south west Delhi. Ramesh, a school bus driver, is survived by his wife and three children, ages three, eight, and ten.
On Thursday, about 4 a.m., Ramesh was travelling to Jaipur to see his sister on the Delhi-Jaipur lane of National Highway 48. After feeling ill, he reconsidered his plans and opted to return to Delhi.
"Ramesh must have crossed the highway on foot when the first vehicle hit him. Several other vehicles coming from behind failed to spot the body and went over it. A commuter spotted the remains of the body and alerted the police. Police reached the spot and informed the family," a police officer was quoted by PTI in its report.
Ramesh's younger brother, Dilip Nayak, recognised the corpse based on the victim's clothing.
"A case has been registered against an unidentified driver under IPC sections 279 (rash driving) and 304A (causing death by negligence) at DLF Phase 2 police station on a complaint by Dilip," Head constable Rajesh Kumar said.
“The exact time of the incident is not clear. A commuter called us and we reached the spot. The body parts were scattered at various places. We found the victim's wallet which helped us to identify the body and inform the family. The body was handed over to the kin after post-mortem. Efforts are on to trace the accused vehicle driver," he added.
A distraught Dilip stated that Ramesh was the family's primary earner.
"Ramesh is survived by his wife and three children. I do not know how they will survive in the future," he said. Dilip said Ramesh worked as a bus driver at Kendriya Vidyalya, Uttam Nagar.
"He left home Wednesday night to meet his sister in Jaipur and Thursday morning we received the news of his death. Ramesh belongs to Rajasthan but he had been living in Delhi since the last many years," Ramesh Kumar, the victim's father-in-law, said.
