What Led To The Incident?
Biru worked as a salesman for a food products company. His father, Ram Shankar Singh, said his son had a dispute with two men, Rajveer and Mewalal, a few days before the incident.
On Tuesday night, Biru was returning home after visiting a Dussehra fair when the two men allegedly arrived in a car with three others. The group reportedly assaulted him. When he tried to escape, the car allegedly hit him.
His family claims the men then placed him on the car's roof, trapped both his hands between the front windows and drove away at high speed with the closed.
Biru was allegedly dragged in that position for around 1.5 km before being thrown onto the road. The car reportedly ran over him before the occupants fled.
A passerby recognised Biru and alerted his family, who took him to a private hospital. He was later shifted to Hallet Hospital as his condition worsened. Doctors declared him dead at around 3 pm on Wednesday.
His family said he suffered several injuries and that his fingers were badly crushed after getting trapped in the windows. They also claimed that more than a dozen CCTV cameras recorded the incident, with two clips reportedly showing a man on the roof of a moving car.
