Truck Driver Hammers Pedestrian to Death After Argument A truck driver allegedly killed a 39-year-old pedestrian in a road rage incident in Nagpur on April 2. The victim, Rajan Yadav, was walking to work with two friends, Ayush Bansod and Kunal Kadbe, when a truck approached from behind near a grocery shop between 8:30 a.m. and 9 a.m. The vehicle, driven recklessly and honking continuously, struck Yadav. A passerby named Gaurav Uike immediately pulled Yadav to safety. Yadav, enraged by the driver’s actions, confronted the truck operator, identified as Pravin Bagde, a 30-year-old resident of Mhasala. Bagde reportedly got out of the vehicle and attacked Yadav with a hammer. Witnesses intervened and rushed Yadav to Mayo Hospital, where he later died during treatment. Kapilnagar police registered a case of culpable homicide under Sections 105 and 352 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. Bagde has been arrested and is facing charges related to the incident. The police are investigating the circumstances of the attack and the driver’s state of mind at the time of the incident. The incident has sparked discussions about road safety and the need for stricter enforcement of traffic regulations. Local authorities are reviewing the case to determine if additional charges apply. The victim’s family has not yet made public statements, but the community is demanding accountability and measures to prevent similar incidents. The case highlights the dangers of aggressive driving and the potential consequences of road rage. Authorities are urging drivers to adhere to traffic rules and exercise caution to avoid such tragedies. The incident also underscores the importance of public awareness campaigns to address reckless behavior on the roads.#truck_driver #rajans_yadav #ayush_bansod #kunal_kadbe #gaurav_uike
