Gurgaon: Two on cycle killed after car rams into them on Golf Course Road

Umesh said his father was flung into the air and suffered multiple injuries. “His cycle got stuck under the car and as the driver braked, the vehicle turned in the opposite direction and lost control. The car went on to ram into another cyclist, who was sitting on his cycle near the gate of a society,” he alleged.

Both were rushed to a private hospital. Police said Khan was declared dead on arrival and Dharampal died during treatment. On the complaint of the victim’s family, an FIR was registered against the driver, Naveen, a resident of Gurgaon, added police.

“The accused was asked to join the investigation. He was arrested and later released on bail. The car, a Skoda Rapid, was seized,” said a police officer.

Police said Dharampal was from Charkhi Dadri district and had been staying at Indra Colony in Gurgaon for several years. Khan, from Bardhaman in West Bengal, worked in housekeeping at an upscale society in Gurgaon and stayed in Saraswati Kunj.

Speaking to The Indian Express, Umesh said, “My father was earlier employed in cleaning jobs… I was in shock when the incident took place, I do not know who took him to the hospital. I am at a loss for words. No one can fill this void.”

Noor Alam Shekh, Saheb’s uncle, said he had just completed his shift and was about to head home: “He was sitting on his cycle when the car hit him. He is survived by his wife and two children and was the only earning member in the family.”

An FIR has been registered against the accused under IPC sections 279 (rash driving or riding on a public way), 304-A (death by negligence), 427 (mischief causing damage).
