JAIPUR: A beggar killed in an accident in the city’s bustling Sindhi Camp area suffered several more deaths as multiple vehicles ran him over one after the other for an hour, with none of the drivers even bothering to report the corpse.

“It is really unfortunate... The (city’s) main bus stand is located in the same area and many vehicles cross this road round the clock,” a police officer said.

The unidentified victim, reportedly in his early 30s, died on Thursday night around midnight. Police suspect he was run over by a heavy vehicle, most likely a bus or a truck, while crossing the road.

“As he lay on the road, people ignored him and passed him by instead of helping him and calling police or the ambulance. A few vehicles ran over his body,” station house officer (accident police station, west Jaipur) Rajendra Singh told TOI. The indignities continued until a cyclist informed police.

By then, police said, the victim’s face was mangled beyond recognition from being repeatedly run over. “Our team was informed around 1.45am. When they reached the spot, our constables found a dismembered corpse, its remains stren around,” Singh added.

Assistant sub-inspector Gandhi Lal, who was at the spot, told TOI that it was a gory sight. “There was nothing left of him. His body was lying in the middle of the road and there was blood all over,” he added. Police have sent the body for autopsy, and are now trying to identify the victim.

“We have registered a case under relevant sections of the IPC. We are examining the CCTV footage of the area to identify the vehicle that hit him,” Singh added.
