A 49-year-old man died after he allegedly fell from a flyover and was run over by a vehicle in east Delhi’s Pandav Nagar area early Thursday, police said.
The incident took place around 12 AM near the Manglam cut flyover on National Highway-24, they said.
It was not immediately clear whether the man was a pedestrian or riding a vehicle.
“A car and a scooter were found in a damaged condition at the spot, but the injured already had been shifted to the Lal Bahadur Shastri Hospital by the time a police team reached there,” Deputy Commissioner of Police (East) Abhishek Dhania said.
At the hospital, doctors declared the victim brought dead. He was later identified as Rakesh Kumar Agarwal, a resident of Indirapuram, Ghaziabad, the officer said.
According to the complainant, Amit Kumar, an auto driver, he was driving towards Ghazipur when he saw a man fall from the flyover onto the service road. The grievously injured man was rushed to a hospital in Kumar’s auto with the help of a few bystanders, the DCP added.
Preliminary enquiry suggests that an unknown heavy vehicle may have hit the victim on the flyover, leading to the fall, police said.
A case has been registered under relevant section of the BNS at Pandav Nagar police station and further investigation is underway, they added.
