A shocking incident has been reported from Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh, where a 37-year-old man, identified as Biru Singh Bhadauria, died after allegedly being dragged on the roof of a moving car for around 1.5 kilometres before being run over. The incident reportedly took place on Tuesday night in the Hanumant Vihar area and was captured by CCTV cameras. The police are examining the footage to establish the sequence of events. Bhadauria worked as a salesman for a food products company and was returning home after visiting a Dussehra fair when the incident occurred. According to his family, he had a dispute with two men, identified as Rajveer and Mewalal, a few days earlier. His father, Ram Shankar Singh, alleged that the accused arrived in a car with other men and confronted his son. The family claims that Bhadauria was assaulted and that the men deliberately used the vehicle during the attack.

According to the family's allegations, when Bhadauria attempted to escape, the accused struck him with the car and forced him onto its roof. They allegedly trapped his hands in the front window panes and drove the vehicle for approximately 1.5 kilometres. The family further claims that he was thrown onto the road and run over by the same car before the occupants fled. A passerby reportedly recognised the injured man and informed his family. Bhadauria was initially taken to a private hospital and later referred to Lala Lajpat Rai Hospital, popularly known as Hallet Hospital. Doctors declared him dead on Wednesday afternoon. His family has alleged that the attack was linked to the earlier dispute and has demanded strict action against those responsible.

Police officials said the initial complaint described the incident as a road accident involving an unidentified vehicle. The family's subsequent allegations suggested that the death may have resulted from a deliberate attack. According to reports, the family believes that footage from more than a dozen CCTV cameras could help establish what happened. Videos purportedly showing a man on the roof of a moving car have also circulated on social media. Assistant Commissioner of Police Abhishek Rahul said the matter was under investigation and that further legal action would depend on the facts established during the probe. Police have registered a case and are examining available CCTV recordings to verify the allegations, identify those involved and determine responsibility for Bhadauria's death. The investigation remains ongoing, and the allegations against the suspects are yet to be established through the legal process.
