In a tragic incident, a 37-year-old man named Deepak Sharma from Gurugram lost his life in a car accident, succumbing to internal bleeding 24 hours after the incident. Sharma, who had sustained injuries in the collision, refrained from seeking medical treatment due to his concern for his parents, both suffering from chronic heart diseases. The fear of causing shock to his parents led Sharma to keep the accident a secret, resulting in a delayed response to his critical condition.
The incident unfolded when Sharma's Hyundai Verna was hit by a tractor-trolley beneath the Dwarka Expressway flyover around 9:30 pm. Despite minor bruises from the impact, Sharma's internal bleeding went unnoticed, and he started experiencing severe chest and head pain hours later as he headed home to Garhi Harsaru from Khandsa.
Sharma's brother-in-law, Manish Kumar, was alerted about the accident and rushed to the scene at 10 pm. Sharma, who was found sitting on the pavement, insisted on not informing his parents about the accident, citing their fragile health due to chronic heart disease.
Despite Kumar's attempts to persuade Sharma to seek medical help, he adamantly refused. Kumar arranged for the damaged car to be towed for repairs and dropped Sharma home. Later that night, Sharma complained of uneasiness and dizziness, prompting a visit to a local doctor who prescribed medication, providing temporary relief.
However, Sharma's condition worsened, and he was rushed to a private hospital in Gurugram's Sector 90 after intense pain and headaches. Unfortunately, despite an hour of medical intervention, Sharma was declared dead.
The Gurugram police's Public Relations Officer, Mr Subhash Boken, revealed that an FIR had been filed against the tractor driver under sections 279 for rash driving and 304A for causing death due to negligence, according to the Indian Penal Code. The tractor driver remains at large, and the police are actively searching for the culprit while awaiting the postmortem report to determine the exact cause of Sharma's death.
