Thar allegedly reversed and run over 27-year-old in Daria: Family stages protest, demands arrest
A 27-year-old man, Pawan, died after being run over by a Thar in Daria on Sunday morning. His family and locals protested outside the Railway Light Point on Monday, demanding the arrest of the accused. Police registered a murder case under various sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, accusing Monu, Subhash, Suraj, Govinda, Mahavir and Malkit of the crime.
Pawan's brother Suraj lodged the complaint, stating the Thar deliberately rammed into their Scorpio, causing fatal injuries. Pawan was pronounced dead upon arrival at GMSH-16, while Suraj was hospitalized in Chandigarh. The family alleges the police initially dismissed the case as an accident and failed to arrest the suspects within 48 hours.
They contend the incident stemmed from a dispute between Pawan and the accused, which escalated on social media. The protesters blocked the road, halting traffic. Police are actively seeking the suspects, conducting raids in their vicinity.
