Nagpur, 11

Aug (HS): A tragic accident on the Nagpur–Jabalpur National Highway has left

the city shocked—not just by the loss of life, but by the disturbing lack of

humanity shown by passersby. On Sunday evening near Morfata, a 31-year-old

woman was killed instantly after a speeding truck ran her over.

Her husband,

unable to get help despite repeated pleas, tied her body to his motorcycle and

began the journey home. The deceased Gyarasi Amit Yadav, originally from

Karanpur in Seoni district in Madhya Pradesh, had been living in Lonara, near

Koradi in Nagpur district with her husband. The couple was on their way to

Karanpur on a motorcycle to celebrate Raksha Bandhan when an Eicher truck hit

them near Mor Diversion, under Maharashtra’s Deolapar Police Station. Gyarasi

died on the spot.

The traffic

on the highway was steady due to heavy rains. But none stopped to help Amit. He

finally tied Gyarasi’s body to his motorcycle and proceeded towards Koradi.

Highway police were alerted and attempted to

intercept him. Overwhelmed and frightened, he did not stop until officers

finally blocked his path. The police took custody of the body and sent it for

post-mortem at Mayo Hospital in Nagpur.

Koradi

Police Sub-Inspector Nilesh Shendkar confirmed that the investigation will now

be handled by Deolapar Police.
