In the early hours of a Saturday in Gurgaon, a young man who had come from Nepal to visit family was struck down while walking home from dinner with his cousin. He was thirty, and he died in a city that was not yet his to call home, leaving behind a family in Nepal and a cousin who saw everything except the one detail that might have named the killer. Now the case rests on a question as old as roads themselves: who was behind the wheel, and will the machine that carried them be found?
Nepalese Man, 30, Killed in Suspected Hit-and-Run in Gurgaon's Sector 43; Driver Still Unidentified
Nirmal, a 30-year-old Nepalese man, died after being hit by a truck, and his family has been informed.
A truck nobody could identify, and a cousin who could not note the plate.
Mark
Why does this one stand out? Road deaths are not rare.
Mimi
Because of how little there is to hold. A man visiting his cousin walks home from dinner and is dead within the hour, and the only thing police have to pursue is a truck nobody could identify.
Mark
The cousin couldn't note the registration. Is that a failing?
Luke
I'd be careful. The report says only that he couldn't note it down. It doesn't say why, and after a collision that's hardly surprising. What matters is that the plate is missing.
Mark
What are the charges?
Mimi
Sections 281 and 106 of the BNS, rash driving and death by negligence, filed against an unknown driver on Subhash's complaint.
Luke
Worth noting the speed and negligence come from that complaint. They're allegations at this stage, not findings.
Mark
Is there a way to find the truck?
Mimi
Police say they're working to identify it. The article mentions CCTV only for the Sector 62 case.
Luke
Right, so we don't know whether footage is being used in Nirmal's case. The article doesn't say, and I wouldn't assume.
Mark
And the Sector 62 death?
Mimi
A different accident, a Bolero pickup, and the victim is still unidentified. It shows the same problem from the other side.
El Pulso
- A speeding truck crossed a quiet Harijan Colony road at one in the morning and took a life in an instant.
- The cousin who walked beside Nirmal could not catch the registration number, leaving police with a vehicle and driver that exist in name only.
- A rash-driving and negligence case is open against an unknown driver, and officers are searching for the truck through records and footage.
- The same week a second accident in Sector 62 left another unidentified man dead, stretching police resources across two open files.
- The case waits on a single identifying thread, and until it appears, the driver remains unnamed and the family's grief unanswered.
In the early hours of a Saturday in Gurgaon, a young man who had come from Nepal to visit family was struck down while walking home from dinner with his cousin. He was thirty, and he died in a city that was not yet his to call home, leaving behind a family in Nepal and a cousin who saw everything except the one detail that might have named the killer. Now the case rests on a question as old as roads themselves: who was behind the wheel, and will the machine that carried them be found?
Around one on Saturday morning, two cousins were walking back along the main road in Harijan Colony, Gurgaon, after a dinner that was part of a visit. A truck, moving fast and driven carelessly according to the complaint, struck one of them. The man was Nirmal, thirty, from Dodhara Chandni in Nepal, who had come to the city on Friday evening to see his cousin Subhash and was living in Greater Noida.
Subhash rushed him to Paras Hospital, where doctors declared him dead. Subhash told police he had not been able to note the truck's registration number, and that gap now defines the case. Without a plate, the vehicle and its driver remain unknown. On Subhash's complaint, police registered a case at Sushant Lok police station under Sections 281 and 106 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, for rash driving and causing death by negligence.
Officers say they are working to identify the vehicle and will act once they do. Nirmal's family has been informed, and his body has gone to the mortuary.
The same report describes a separate death in Sector 62, where a man was hit by a Bolero pickup on Sunday morning. His body lay on the roadside before passersby brought him to the civil hospital, and his identity is still unknown. Police plan to examine CCTV footage in both cases, and in each the search is the same: find the vehicle, and the case stays open until then.
Around one in the morning on Saturday, two cousins were walking back to their room after dinner along the main road in Harijan Colony, in Gurgaon's Sector 43. A truck, which the complaint says was moving at high speed and driven negligently, struck one of them. He was Nirmal, 30, from Dodhara Chandni in Nepal.
Nirmal was living in Greater Noida. He had come to Gurgaon on Friday evening to visit his cousin Subhash, who later filed the complaint with police. The dinner and the walk home were part of that visit.
Subhash told police he could not note down the truck's registration number. That detail now shapes the investigation, because without a plate the vehicle and its driver remain unidentified. Subhash took Nirmal to Paras Hospital in Gurgaon, where doctors declared him dead.
Police reached the hospital after being told of the death and took the body into custody. On Subhash's complaint they registered a case at Sushant Lok police station against the unknown truck driver. The charges fall under two sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita: Section 281, for rash driving, and Section 106, for causing death by negligence.
A police officer said the investigation has been taken up and that efforts are under way to identify the vehicle involved. Further action, the officer said, will follow once the vehicle and driver are identified. Nirmal's family members have been informed, and his body was sent to the mortuary for further proceedings.
The same report notes a separate accident, in Sector 62. On Sunday morning, around 9 am, a man was hit by a Bolero pickup truck near the Emaar building. Passersby rushed him to the civil hospital in Sector 10, which informed police. An officer familiar with the investigation said the body had been lying on the roadside. The man's identity has not been established, and his body is in the mortuary.
In that case, police plan to analyse CCTV footage from the area to work out the sequence of events, and a team is also trying to learn who the dead man was.
In both cases the next steps are the same: finding the vehicles through whatever records and footage exist. For Nirmal's case, the case stays open against an unknown driver until that happens.
