18-month-old girl crushed to death by tempo

A one-and-a-half-year-old girl died after being crushed by a tempo at Jangpur village near Dakha. The incident was captured on a CCTV camera.

The mishap occurred when a vendor was carrying vegetables in a tempo to sell in the village. Two women were buying vegetables from the man. Meanwhile, the small girl came and stood in front of the tempo. After buying the vegetables, the women left the place and the driver moved the tempo forward, hitting the toddler.

The girl fell and the one of the tyres of the tempo ran over her. Before the driver could understand anything, the second tyre also crushed her. Later, the driver stopped the tempo and picked up the child. There was an uproar in the village. The family took the toddler to a hospital but by then she had died.

The Dakha police have started investigation in the incident.
