According to information available, the victim, identified as Nandulal (40), was walking along the road when a new Toyota Innova car allegedly hit him. The impact left him critically injured, but the driver reportedly failed to stop and fled the spot.

A student, identified as Zaid Shah Qadri, came to Nandulal’s rescue and attempted to take him to a nearby hospital. However, while the injured man was being shifted, another vehicle allegedly struck Zaid.

Police sources said a Mahindra car, travelling at high speed, hit the student. Nandulal succumbed to his injuries, while Zaid suffered serious injuries and was shifted to a hospital for treatment.

Police are continuing their investigation to establish the exact sequence of events, determine the circumstances surrounding both accidents, and ascertain the role of those involved.
