For nearly 10 years after he shifted to Gurgaon from Delhi in 2014, Amitabh Jain, a businessman, began almost every day doing what he really enjoyed – cycling. On Wednesday, however, the routine turned fatal for the 58-year-old after he was allegedly hit by a speeding car from behind in Gurgaon’s DLF Phase-2 area, said police. The alleged hit-and-run incident was captured on CCTV cameras, said officers. No arrests have been made yet.
A resident of Bougainvillea Marg, Jain was riding his cycle on Akashneem Marg when the accident happened around 7 am, police said. Passers-by rushed him to a private hospital nearby, where he was declared dead hours later.
CCTV footage from the spot, reviewed by police, showed Jain riding in the left lane on a largely empty road when a white Santro, with a Delhi number plate, approached from behind near a speed breaker at high speed, rammed into him, and sped away without stopping, said officers. The impact threw Jain off his bicycle, leaving him grievously hurt on the road.
A case was registered at the DLF Phase-2 police station under sections 281 (rash driving), 106 (death by negligence) and 324(2) (mischief) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS).
Police used the registration number from the footage to reach the owner’s address in South West Delhi’s Fatehpur Beri, but did not find the car or the owner. “The vehicle has been traced and the owner will be arrested soon,” a police officer said.
A search for the accused is underway, with investigators also probing whether the incident stemmed from any enmity with Jain because he was a businessman.
The family performed the last rites at 4:30 pm on Thursday after the post-mortem was carried out earlier in the day.
Police said Jain’s home and the accident spot are only two kilometre away from DLF Cyberhub. The roads are wide but lack dedicated cycling tracks, according to residents.
Former DLF Phase-2 Residents Welfare Association president Naveen Kumar blamed negligence of authorities for the incident. “The area becomes a shortcut for vehicles – heading to or coming from the Sikanderpur Metro station area — during peak office hours to avoid the snarls on MG Road. There is no enforcement at the gates of the so-called gated colony, and all kinds of vehicles and people are allowed to enter. In the mornings and evenings, the roads are filled with e-rickshaws making it difficult to even move around properly.”
