The other labourers present at the spot of incident rushed the victim Cyber Ansari to a nearby Medicare hospital where he was declared dead on admission. "Ansari was walking in the parking area when the vehicle hit him and was run over by the rear tyre. He died of multiple injuries on his head and right limbs," said Sahar police senior inspector Jaiprakash Giram.

The accused is booked under IPC sections for rash driving and causing death due to negligence.
