On September 5, a 32-year-old man named Himanshu Rai was struck by a high-speed SUV while celebrating his birthday at Ek Murti Chowk in Greater Noida. The incident, caught on camera, shows the victim being hurled into the air before the driver fled the scene without stopping. Rai and his wife had just finished his work shift and were on their way to collect a pre-ordered birthday cake from a local bakery when the crash occurred around 4:35 am.
According to prosecutors, the vehicle was traveling at an alarming speed of over 100 km/h and exhibited reckless behavior, suggesting the driver may have been under the influence of alcohol. Witnesses quickly provided first aid and rushed Rai to the hospital, where he suffered severe fractures in his legs, knees, hand, and spine.
Following a thorough investigation, police apprehended the driver, Priyanshu, a 24-year-old management student, on September 14. The vehicle, a Tata Punch, was also seized. The accused faces charges under Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) sections 125(b) and 281 for endangering life and negligent driving. The case has been registered accordingly.
