A two-year-old girl was crushed to death by a car while playing outside her home in Gurugram’s Sector 5, with CCTV footage capturing the moment the vehicle turned into the street and ran over her. The child’s mother was standing nearby when the accident happened. The driver briefly got out of the car after the incident but later fled the spot. The family rushed the girl to a private hospital, where doctors declared her dead. Police have registered a case based on the complaint of her father, an engineer with an IT company.
Reports say that the victim has been identified as Adhiraja Tiwari. Her father, Virendra Tiwari, said the young man driving the car had passed through the area around five minutes before the accident and had noticed children playing at the corner. According to him, the man had even moved the children aside at that time. When he returned a short while later, his car ran over Adhiraja while taking a turn.
