Gurugram: Man charred to death after his car rams into pole, catches fire

On being informed by villagers, the fire department reached the spot immediately, but Mohit had died even before he could be taken out of the car, said police.

He had “suffered a head injury” in the accident. “Police personnel and fire department officials reached the spot immediately, but could not save the victim who suffered a head injury and died on the spot. He had also suffered minor burns… He was taken to a nearby hospital, where the doctors declared him ‘dead on arrival’,” said an officer.

The body of the deceased has been sent for post-mortem, said police, adding that they are yet to ascertain the reason behind the accident.

Based on a statement provided by Mohit’s brother Ashish to the police, inquest proceedings were initiated in the case under Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC) 174 (police to enquire and report on suicide, etc), said officers.
