âWe were waiting for his call from the hospital. He had been getting treatment from different hospitals for his heart valve. We didnât know this would happen. I was at home with my mother when I received a call about the accident. My father worked in the force for nearly three decades. He was a hardworking man. We donât know what to do now. He was the sole breadwinner of the familyâŚ,â said Tushar (19), son of Border Security Force head constable Yesbir Singh (52), who died in a road accident in Delhiâs Shastri Park Monday.
Yesbirâs family said he didnât sustain severe injuries but died due to the âsudden shockâ.
âHe was a heart patient and suffered a shock because of the accident. He and his colleague fell on the road. Doctors told us he had a heart attack. I wish he could have been saved. I donât know how to take care of my family members,â said Tushar, a student in Meerut. Yesbir is survived by his wife and two children â a daughter and a son.
Constable Manoj also hailed from Uttar Pradesh, where his parents and wife live.
Another BSF official, who did not wish to be named, said, âWe left Rohini camp in the morning and I was sitting inside the ambulance with my seniors. We were near the hospital when the vehicle collided with the divider. We were all screaming and asked the driver to stop the vehicle but he couldnât. The collision was bad⌠the vehicle overturned twice and two men fell on the road. I was about to fall but others held me. We were all injured but we managed to call for help.â
Police said they received a call around 8.30 am about the accident. After the ambulance overturned, locals and BSF personnel rushed to the spot and admitted injured persons to different hospitals.
