AGRA: A 27-year-old man who was observing a fast on Karva Chauth for his wife mowed down a cyclist after his

level dipped to a dangerous level while driving on MG Road.

Identified as Karan Lamba, a resident of

estate and a local businessman, was returning home with his wife on Thursday night when he lost control of the vehicle near Soorsadan on M G Road as his blood sugar level started decreasing. While the cyclist Dayaram died on the spot, the couple sustained grievous injuries and were rushed to a hospital.

Hariparvat station house officer Ajay Kaushal said, “The accused Karan has suffered multiple fractures and is currently undergoing treatment at a private hospital. The victim’s body has been handed over to his family members after autopsy. During investigation, Karan claimed that the accident occurred because his blood sugar level dipped while

fasting

for his wife.” “We have registered a case against him under IPC section 304 (punishment for

not amounting to murder) and seized his car,” he added.
