On way to break Ramzan fast, man killed after Innova slams bike in Gurgaon; shocking dashcam video surfaces

GURGAON: A 50-year-old man died on Tuesday, a day after a multi-purpose vehicle (MPV) rammed into a motorcycle from behind while it was stuck in a traffic jam on Gurgaon-Faridabad Road.

Shakir, who was riding pillion on a Honda S being driven by his brother Mohammad Rashid (37), sustained serious injuries after being hit by a Toyota Innova. He was admitted to BK Civil Hospital in Faridabad, where he died on Tuesday.


Based on a complaint, lodged by Rashid, and medical documents, an FIR was registered under sections 281 (rash driving) and 106 (causing death by negligence) of the BNS against the Innova driver at DLF Phase 1 police station. A police officer said, "We seized the car and will issue a notice to its owner."

According to the FIR, the accident took place around 4.45pm. Rashid, a painter by profession and native of Karmas Khedi village in UP's Bijnor district, said the brothers were returning from work in DLF Phase III and were heading towards Shakir's rented accommodation in Dabua Colony, Faridabad.

When they reached near a CNG pump in Gwal Pahari, traffic slowed down due to congestion. Rashid stopped his motorcycle behind a Grand Vitara car amid the jam when the white Toyota Innova allegedly came at high speed and hit their bike from behind.

The impact left the motorcycle wedged between the Grand Vitara in front and the Innova that struck it from behind, causing both brothers to fall and suffer injuries. A crowd gathered at the spot following the collision. Rashid said he noted down the registration number of the Innova at the spot. With the help of a passing vehicle, he took his brother to the hospital.

Talking to TOI, Rashid said that after work, they were on their way to Faridabad to break the fast in Ramzan. "We returned to our native village where I am undergoing treatment for a fractured leg. My elder brother Shakir suffered serious injuries after he cracked his multiple bones sitting behind me on the bike. He is survived by three children and wife," Rashid said. Police found the damaged motorcycle and the Innova car. "Photographs were taken and a site inspection was carried out. On Tuesday, we received information from the hospital that Shakir died," the officer said.
