FollowA truck driver dragged two people for about 300 metres in Agra under his vehicle, police on Monday said. The men were pulled out from under the truck by several locals who pushed the driver to stop. The truck was confiscated and the driver was taken into custody. The two men, both residents of Nunhai in Agra, were going towards Rambagh from Waterworks when they met with an accident around 11 pm Sunday.
The truck hit them from behind and, instead of stopping, it sped up, trapping both the men underneath, and dragging them for nearly 300 meters. Police said that the driver trapped the two of them below the vehicle as it raced up instead of stopping.
According to police reports, the men were involved in a minor accident with the truck, but instead of stopping to check on them, the driver accelerated and continued to drive.
