Ghaziabad: The Ghaziabad police on Tuesday arrested the driver of the car that allegedly ran over an unidentified man at slow speed on the Raj Nagar Road on Monday. The officials said that the police took cognizance of the video of the incident and filed a first information report (FIR) at Madhuban Bapudham police station late Monday night.
The incident took place on the main Raj Nagar Road at 1.30pm. The viral video shows a man, aged about 40 years, lying on the road.

Taking cognizance, the police filed an FIR against the unidentified driver under BNS sections 281 (rash or negligent driving or riding on a public way that endangers human life), and 106 (causing death by negligence).
The officials said Tuesday that they arrested Delhi’s Nand Nagri resident Bunty Kumar, 26, who was driving the car of his employer—a factory owner at Mohan Nagar Industrial Area.
“A police team traced the registration number of the vehicle and reached the owner. He said that his employee Bunty had taken the car and had gone to Pilkhuwa for some work. Thereafter, we arrested Bunty and also seized the car. The deceased remained unidentified,” said Bhaskar Verma, ACP of Kavi Nagar circle.
