Accordingly, based on the complaint by the bike owner, the police registered an FIR under sections 279 (rash driving or riding on a public way), 337 (causing hurt by act endangering life or personal safety of others), and 427 (mischief causing damage) of Indian Penal Code and arrested the accused driver.
As per the FIR of the incident, the incident took place on the intervening night of February 1-2 near sector 65 in Gurugram when the complainant Monu was sitting on his parked motorcycle and a speeding car allegedly rammed into him.
“After the collision, I fell down on the road and didn’t get any injuries but my bike got stuck underneath the left bumper of the car. The driver who was driving negligently did not stop and fled away from the spot, dragging my motorcycle along with him due to which my vehicle was badly damaged,” the FIR read.
It is yet to be ascertained whether the accused driver was in an inebriated state at the time of the accident. “The accused driver possibly tried to flee after the accident. We have seized both vehicles,” police said.
