A 40-year-old lawyer died, and his wife suffered severe injuries, after a speeding Thar SUV struck their scooter in Greater Noida West. More than 20 hours after the accident, the driver remains untraced, according to the victim’s elder brother.
The Thar has been seized, and a search has been launched for the driver, who remains at large. A crowd quickly gathered at the scene. The driver of the Thar abandoned the vehicle and fled. Bystanders alerted the police and called for an ambulance, and the injured couple were rushed to a nearby hospital by locals and the police. Doctors declared Neeraj dead on arrival. His wife remains under treatment. “My brother is no more. He was a lawyer practising in the Supreme Court. It was not his fault. He was driving in his own lane when the Thar came from the wrong side,” he added. Police have completed inquest proceedings for the victim and sent the body for a post-mortem examination.
Legal Action Initiated Against Driver Following Family Complaint
Authorities have confirmed that a formal complaint is being filed based on information provided by the victim’s family. Police stated that further legal action will follow against the accused driver involved in the incident.
