Ghaziabad, July 19

A man sitting in the middle of a road was killed after being hit by a car near the Rajnagar district centre flyover here, police said on Wednesday.

A video of the incident, which happened late on Tuesday night, went viral online and police have booked the car’s driver, Surabh Sharma.

During interrogation, Surabh Sharma claimed he was the “representative” of BJP Anoop Shahar MLA Sanjay Sharma, according to police.

When contacted, Sanjay Sharma denied that he has designated any representative in his constituency but admitted that the driver was a distant relative of his.

Deputy Commissioner of Police (City Zone) Nipun Agarwal said that late on Tuesday night, a car being driven by Surabh Sharma, a resident of Mahgunpuram, hit the man, who later died in a hospital.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
