TCS engineer killed in Gurgaon: ‘He would call his mother every day’, says family

Tushar Kumar, a 27-year-old system engineer at Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) in Gurgaon, tragically lost his life in a road accident on Thursday night. His family confirmed he had never received a call from him that day. The incident occurred around midnight when Tushar, returning home from his office in Cyber City, was struck by the rear bucket of an earthmover operating on Moulsari Avenue near the Moulsari Avenue Rapid Metro station.

Tushar’s father, Harish Kumar, expressed shock and grief, revealing that his son had been working in Gurgaon for five years as his first job. Tushar had completed his B.Tech from Ghaziabad and his schooling in Mathura. Upon learning of the accident, local police arrived at their home in Mathura around midnight to inform Harish that his son had been involved in an accident.

Harish emphasized their disappointment, wishing that the CCTV footage be promptly examined to identify the driver responsible for the accident and seeking justice.

The police registered a case under sections of causing death by negligence, rash driving or riding on a public way endangering human life, and mischief causing damage or loss to property. Emergency Response Vehicle and an official from the Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority (GMDA) Maintenance Department, named Rakesh, were present at the scene.

However, DLF Downtown, where the construction work was taking place, is not part of the GMDA’s operations; the work was related to the Downtown project. The police are investigating the incident using CCTV footage and are actively pursuing the driver. The DLF Corporation, which operates the IT park, has not commented on the matter, but it is understood that the construction work was carried out by a third-party contractor, and both companies are cooperating fully with the police investigation.
