Teen beats handicapped driver to death after auto grazes his SUV in Faridabad | India News



A 32-year-old physically challenged autorickshaw driver was beaten to death after his three-wheeler grazed an SUV and left a deep scratch on it in Nangla Chowk of Faridabad around Thursday midnight.
Rohit, the 19-year-old driver of the car who rained punches and kicks on the victim, was arrested on Saturday morning. Police said Bunty had just dropped a passenger around 11.50 pm on Thursday and was driving his auto back home when it brushed past Rohit’s car near Nangla Chowk.
As Bunty drove ahead, Rohit accelerated his car and caught up with him after around 200 metres. He allegedly caught Bunty by the collar, pulled him out of the auto and pinned him to the ground. “The accused kept kicking and punching him until the auto driver lost consciousness. He then left the victim bleeding profusely on the road,” a police officer said.
Before fleeing the spot in his car, Rohit paid Rs 500 to a local to drive the auto to his house. Passersby found Bunty dead on the road and informed the cops a couple of hours later.
Police commissioner Rakesh Kumar Arya said the case was transferred to the crime branch. Officers of the DLF crime branch arrested Rohit near Etmadpur bridge on Saturday. His SUV was seized, too.
Rohit, a resident of Nawada village, told police he was on his way to Sarurpur for some work when the auto driver grazed past his car and left a dent. He also admitted he had paid Rs 500 to a passerby to drive the auto to his house.
Bunty had left his Aligarh home and come to Faridabad recently to earn a living. He had been staying with sister, Neerja Devi, in Nangla village for the past three days. A case was registered against Rohit under Section 103 (1) (murder) of the BNS following a complaint by Neerja Devi at Mujesar police station.
“He was the sole earning member in his family, which has his wife and three children. His sudden death has put the family in a major crisis,” Bunty’s sister said.
