Thar driver tries to run over man
Noida police on Tuesday registered a case against an SUV driver and formed multiple teams to trace the suspect after a video of him hitting a man from a Mahindra Thar was widely circulated on social media platforms, police said, adding that the incident took place in Sector 53 on Monday.
A 28-second video clip went viral on social media platforms on Tuesday. The video shows that a man with multiple injuries was walking on a road carrying a brick in his hand. At the same time, a Black Thar came from behind and hit him. The collision was so intense that the man was flung into a roadside nullah.
HT, however, could not independently verify the authenticity of the videos. “On Tuesday a video went viral on social media. Taking cognisance of the video, we have registered a case against the SUV driver at Sector 24 police station and formed three teams to nab the suspect,” said Noida additional deputy commissioner of police, Sumit Shukla.
