Youth chased by dogs, dies after bike falls into ditch in Delhi
In a tragic incident that highlights the dangers of stray animals on the streets, a 20-year-old youth lost his life in a motorcycle accident in southeast Delhi on Saturday night. The accident occurred when the youth, identified as Tushar Kumar, and his colleague were trying to escape a group of stray dogs that were chasing them. The incident has sent shockwaves through the community, and raises important questions about the safety of citizens in the city.
According to police, the accident took place in the Jaitpur Pusta area of southeast Delhi, where Tushar Kumar and his colleague were riding a motorcycle. As they were driving, a group of stray dogs suddenly appeared on the road and started chasing them. In an attempt to escape the dogs, the rider lost control of the motorcycle, which fell into a ditch. Tushar Kumar, who was the pillion rider, suffered fatal injuries in the accident, while his colleague sustained injuries and was taken to a nearby hospital for treatment.
The police said that they received a call about the accident at around 10 pm on Saturday night, and immediately rushed to the spot to investigate. “We found that the motorcycle had fallen into a ditch, and the two riders were lying on the ground,” said a police officer. “Tushar Kumar was declared dead at the spot, while his colleague was taken to a nearby hospital for treatment.”
The deceased, Tushar Kumar, was a compounder at a local clinic in the area. He was just 20 years old, and his death has come as a shock to his family and friends. “He was a bright and ambitious young man, who had his whole life ahead of him,” said a friend of Tushar Kumar. “It’s tragic that his life was cut short in such a senseless accident.”
The incident highlights the growing problem of stray dogs on the streets of Delhi. In recent years, there have been numerous reports of stray dogs attacking pedestrians and cyclists, and even causing accidents. The lack of effective measures to control the stray dog population has made the streets of Delhi increasingly unsafe for citizens.
The Delhi Municipal Corporation has been criticized for its failure to effectively tackle the stray dog menace. Despite numerous complaints and warnings, the corporation has failed to take adequate measures to control the population of stray dogs in the city. The result is that citizens are forced to live in fear of being attacked by stray dogs, and accidents like the one that occurred on Saturday night are becoming increasingly common.
The incident has also raised questions about the safety of the roads in Delhi. The Jaitpur Pusta area, where the accident occurred, is known for its narrow and poorly maintained roads. The lack of proper lighting and signage on the roads makes it difficult for drivers to navigate, especially at night. The presence of stray dogs on the roads adds to the danger, making it a recipe for disaster.
The police have registered a case in connection with the accident, and are investigating the circumstances that led to the incident. However, the fact remains that Tushar Kumar’s life could have been saved if the stray dog menace had been effectively tackled by the authorities. The incident is a wake-up call for the authorities to take immediate action to control the stray dog population and make the streets of Delhi safer for citizens.
In conclusion, the death of Tushar Kumar is a tragic reminder of the dangers that citizens face on the streets of Delhi. The incident highlights the need for effective measures to control the stray dog population and make the roads safer for citizens. The authorities must take immediate action to address these issues, and ensure that such accidents do not occur in the future.
