25-year-old mowed down by crane

 According to the police, the deceased, identified as Vipin Kumar, was doing some repair works in the pipeline in the area when the crane driver allegedly accidentally ran over him.

According to the police, the incident took place at around 1 pm when Kumar, a labourer with a private firm, was working with other labourers when a crane driver allegedly accidentally drove over him. 

Eyewitnesses present at the spot made a PCR call after which Kumar was rushed to a nearby hospital where he was declared dead on admission. On the other hand, the errant crane driver fled the spot.

A case under Sections 279 (rash driving) and 304 (Punishment for culpable homicide not amounting to murder) of the IPC has been registered at the Tilak Marg police station. Police have seized the vehicle. 

However, the errant driver is still absconding. Search operations are on to nab the accused.
