A hit-and-run incident on National Highway 727A in Uttar Pradesh’s Deoria district has been captured on CCTV, showing a biker and a minor being struck in quick succession by two speeding cars before both vehicles fled the scene.
The footage, recorded on Saturday, shows a red car first ramming into a motorcycle, knocking the rider onto the road. Moments later, a black Hyundai Creta runs over the fallen man and the child riding pillion, dragging the bike along before speeding away.
Locals are seen rushing to help the injured as traffic comes to a halt. The video has since gone viral on social media.
The injured biker has been identified as Rajeev Prasad, a resident of Jaitpura village under the Rampur Karkhana police station area. He was travelling towards Betalpur around noon with a 12-year-old child on his motorcycle.
According to the police, Prasad was slowing down near a divider cut when the red car hit him from behind, causing him to fall. Before he could recover, the second vehicle struck both victims and escaped.
Gauri Bazaar station in-charge Rahul Singh said the injured were rushed to Maharshi Devaraha Baba Medical College for treatment. “The victims are undergoing treatment at the medical college. The biker has suffered a leg fracture, while the child is also being treated,” he said, adding that no written complaint has been received so far. “Efforts are on to trace the vehicles involved,” Singh said.
Police said they are examining the CCTV footage to identify the cars and the drivers involved in the incident.
