Nepalese Man Dies in Sector 43 Hit-and-Run

GURUGRAM: A 30-year-old Nepalese man died after an unidentified truck allegedly hit him in Harijan Colony, Sector 43, in the early hours of Saturday, police said. An FIR has been registered against an unknown truck driver at Sushant Lok police station, and teams are trying to identify the vehicle.

According to the complaint filed by the deceased's cousin, Subhash, the victim, Nirmal, a resident of Dodhara Chandni in Nepal who had been staying in Greater Noida, came to Gurugram on Friday evening. Around 1am on Saturday, the two were returning to their room after dinner when a truck, allegedly driven at high speed and in a negligent manner, hit Nirmal on the main road in Harijan Colony. Subhash told police he could not note the registration number.

Nirmal was taken to Paras Hospital, where doctors declared him dead. Police reached the hospital, took charge of the body, and registered a case under Sections 281 and 106 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita on Subhash's complaint. An officer said investigation has begun and efforts are on to identify the vehicle and driver. The family has been informed and the body was sent to the mortuary for further proceedings.
Separate roadside death

In a separate incident, a man was hit by a Bolero pickup near the Emaar building in Sector 62 on Sunday morning. Police received information from the civil hospital in Sector 10. Officers said the accident was reported around 9am and the body was found on the roadside after passers-by rushed the injured man to hospital. His identity was yet to be established when the first police update was shared, and CCTV checks were planned.

Hit-and-run cases on internal sector roads often stall when no registration plate is noted and night lighting is poor. Sector 43's Harijan Colony stretch sees mixed local and through traffic. Without a plate or a clear camera angle, tracing a truck depends on nearby society CCTV, vendor cameras and toll or weighbridge logs on exit routes. Police have said further action will follow once the vehicle and driver are identified.

Colony approach roads that lack working streetlights after midnight leave pedestrians invisible to heavy vehicles cutting through toward Golf Course Road connectors. A working camera at the last junction before Harijan Colony would give investigators more than an unknown-truck FIR.

For now, the Sector 43 death remains an allegation of rash driving and death by negligence against an unknown operator. The verified record is the FIR, the hospital declaration, and the open hunt for the truck. Families visiting Gurugram at night still need better lit crossings and working cameras on those colony approach roads if such cases are to move beyond an unknown-vehicle file.
