BAHRAICH::

The shocking incident prompted district magistrate Monika Rani to recommend suspension of naib tehsildar Shailesh Kumar Awasthi for negligence.

The victim, Narendra Kumar Haldar, got stuck under the government vehicle during the accident, and the car driver, oblivious to the situation, continued driving.

The body was dragged all the way from Bahraich to Nanpara tehsil, where it fell to the ground when the driver reversed the vehicle upon arrival. Police arrested the driver Meraj Ahmed on Friday afternoon after registering a case under Section 281/106(1)/105 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita against him for culpable homicide, officials said.
