In a shocking incident, a man asking for money after cleaning cars at a traffic signal in Telangana’s Nizamabad district died after he was run over by a tipper lorry. The incident occurred after a government officer, allegedly travelling in a four-wheeler kicked him following an argument.
Police said that the argument broke out on Thursday evening when the man started cleaning the window panes of the government officer’s car at a traffic junction in Armoor area despite not being told to do so.
Following the argument, the officer came down from the car and allegedly kicked the man, who then came under the wheels of a tipper lorry which was coming from behind.
A case was registered on the basis of a complaint lodged by the victim’s relatives against the ‘person driving the car’ under Section 304 (culpable homicide not amounting to murder) of the Indian Penal Code. The matter is currently being investigated, police said.
A police official also said that efforts are underway to identify the accused. Meanwhile, a case has also been booked under IPC Section 304A (causing death by negligence) against the driver of the tipper lorry, he added.
