Lucknow: A 35-year-old man was mowed down allegedly by a doctor in the premises of a government hospital here, police said Tuesday.
Babloo was sleeping under a tin shed of the emergency department of the Balrampur Hospital when the car, registered in the name of R.C. Samaddar, ran over him late Monday.
“According to eyewitnesses, it was a Honda City car and the doctor, with the help of some employees, took Babloo inside the emergency ward and fled,” A.K. Pathak, a police spokesperson, told IANS.
Babloo’s wife Vimla was admitted to the hospital last week.
A first information report (FIR) was registered against unknown persons in the Kaiser Bagh police station Tuesday.
“We are awaiting the post-mortem report and have also got clues about the person driving the car through the registration number as described by witnesses. We will nab him soon,” Superintendent of Police (West) B.P. Ashok told IANS.
“Samaddar is absconding and we hope to arrest him soon,” Ashok added.
