A truck ran over a 6-year-old girl, while she was rushing towards to board the bus with her parents near Etawah-Mainpuri border in Mainpuri’s Kishni area on Tuesday morning. The family had travelled from Gurugram and was going to UP’s Sitapur district.
According to TOI, Shiv Kumar, a daily wage worker told over the phone that his family and some close relatives started walking from Gurugram on Monday. Later, they got a lift in a truck. On Tuesday morning they were stopped by police at Etawah-Mainpuri border.
Mainpuri’s superintendent of police (SP) Ajay Kumar said that the truck has been confiscated. “The driver fled from the spot. He will be arrested soon,: the SP added.
Kumar said he had returned to Gurugram after Holi on March 15. “But, I could not land a work as lockdown was announced soon after that. Our survival depends on our daily income. Each day had become difficult for us in Gurugram so we decided to return to our village in Sitapur.
