Gurugram News: Violent protests erupted at sector 35 in Gurugram on Saturday after a factory bus mowed down a worker outside the manufacturing unit he worked at, resulting in his death. According to the police, a worker died after he was allegedly run over by a bus near the factory entrance on Saturday morning.
The worker’s demise triggered protests in the area, which quickly turned violent as angry protestors hurled stones at vehicles, including buses and police vans. Two policemen, including an officer were injured in stone-pelting by rampaging locals, police said.
A Gurugram Police spokesperson said the deceased, 24-year-old Monu, a resident Agra in Uttar Pradesh, came under the wheels of the bus as the driver did not see him when he reversed the vehicle.
“Investigation so far has revealed that the driver did not see the worker and he reversed the bus, due to which the person came under the bus and died,” said Gurugram police spokesperson Sandeep Kumar.
However, Monu’s family have claimed that this was not an accident and accused driver “murdered” him by crushing him to death under the bus. They also accused the police of harassing them instead of arresting the bus driver.
Following Monu’s death, the factory employees hit the streets in protest, demanding justice for the deceased victim.
“Some anger was expressed by the employees of the company and the Gurugram Police immediately reached the spot and controlled the situation. The body of the deceased has been kept in the mortuary,” Kumar said.
“Action will be taken as per the rules after the post-mortem. So far the police have registered a case under the sections of accidental death,” the officer added.
