The victim, identified as Abhishek Das, was returning from Bogamati’s Grassland along with three friends when the accident occurred at Bharali Chowk. Their car, while trying to avoid hitting an e-rickshaw, crashed into a roadside shop pillar, causing the doors of the vehicle to jam.
According to eyewitnesses and family members, Abhishek managed to climb out of the car through the sunroof after the crash. However, instead of receiving help, he was allegedly confronted by the e-rickshaw owner and the shop owner, who began assaulting him. The situation soon turned violent, and Abhishek was dragged nearly 50 feet away from the spot. He was then struck on the neck with a rod, leaving him critically injured.
Family members said they were informed of the incident almost an hour later. His father rushed to the spot, but due to the long distance from the nearest hospital and the delayed arrival of an ambulance, Abhishek succumbed to his injuries on the way. The other youths traveling with him were also reportedly attacked and left injured.
The shocking incident has triggered anger and grief in the area. Locals and family members have demanded a fair and thorough investigation into the circumstances that led to Abhishek’s death. They are also calling for strict action against those responsible for the brutal assault.
