Ludhiana, September 2

A speeding and rashly driven tractor-trailer killed an Activa-borne person near Bardeke village in Jagraon. The deceased has been identified as Swaran Singh, a resident of Mirpur Hans village.

Complainant Pritpal Singh told the police that his father owned a clinic in Dholan village. “On August 31, my father left for his clinic on his scooter. Later, in the evening when he was returning home, I got a call from an unknown person, who informed that my father was lying injured on a road near Bardeke village,” stated Pritpal.

“I immediately reached the spot and found my father lying in a pool of blood. He had suffered serious head injuries in the accident and was immediately rushed to a hospital. After struggling for his life for several days he succumbed to his injuries yesterday,” alleged Pritpal.

“The driver hit his tractor into my father’s scooter from behind due to which he suffered serious head injuries,” Pritpal added.

Later, when the complaint was submitted, the police identified the tractor- trailer driver as Harvinder Singh Binda, a resident of Bardeke village. A case under Section 304A of the IPC was registered against the suspect, who was still at large.

In another case, the Sarabha Nagar police have registered a case against Chirag of Kidwai Nagar for causing an accident. The incident had occurred around two months ago when Chirag hit his Creta car into another car owned by Sanchit Gandhi of Nimwala Chowk. Although Gandhi did not suffer injuries in the accident, his car was badly damaged. The suspect tried for compromise in the case, but it could not be reached and hence an FIR was registered. The suspect is yet to be arrested by the police.
