GURGAON: A 31-year-old man sleeping inside a water ATM booth died after a car with four youths crashed into the kiosk around 1.30am on Saturday. The four fled, leaving the car behind.
Originally from Muzaffarpur in Bihar, Bajrang Sharma would repair punctured tyres for a living. At night, he would sleep at the water ATM booth near the Huda office in Sector 14.
Police said when the car crashed into the kiosk, a heavy iron rod fell on Bajrang. He died before he could be wheeled into a hospital.
"I run a roadside shop for repairing tyres in Bhondsi. Around 3am, I got a call from police that my cousin had met with an accident," said Vijay Sharma, who lodged a complaint.
He said Bajrang had been living in the city for the past 10 years and repairing tyres to eke out a living.
"When I reached the booth, I saw that a car had crashed into it. There was a heavy iron rod that had fallen on Bajrang. I was called to the Civil Hospital. There, I identified my cousin," Vijay told TOI. "Some people told me that there were four youths in the car. They were playing loud music and driving recklessly."
Vijay said Bajrang had a wife and two children at his village in Bihar.
Police said initial investigation had revealed that the four youths inside the Swift Dzire car were on their way to the bus stand from Atul Kataria Chowk when the driver lost control and rammed the vehicle into the vending machine. The youths fled, leaving the car behind.
