‘Bahut cheekhe hum, nahi roka...’: UP men recall horror of being dragged by truck on Agra highway | Video
A group of men thrashed the truck driver, some kicking him while others used a slipper to hit him, while the crowd released the men trapped underneath. A bloodied patch on the ground was also visible in the video.
“Bahut cheekhe hum, nahi roka unhone (We screamed a lot, he didn't stop)," said the man who was dragged by a truck on Agra highway. “Ghaseete hue le gaya humko (dragged us away),” he shared from his hospital bed.
A video of a horrific accident from the Agra highway that went viral on social media showed a man with his head sticking out of a moving truck, along with his bike, and another man stuck beneath it. The viral video caught the attention of police, who then arrested the truck driver.
Here's what happened
On Sunday night, Zakir and his friend were returning home after having a meal, but “as soon as we crossed a truck, it hit the accelerator. Our bike got stuck under it, and so did our leg,” he said, recalling the gut-wrenching horror.
Trapped under a moving truck, Zakir, a resident of Nunhai in Agra, was filmed screaming for help as the heavy vehicle continued to drag him on the Agra highway.
In the 36-second clip, Zakir could be seen gesturing to a biker for help as the truck continued to accelerate away.
Thankfully, other motorists on the highway managed to overtake the truck and stop it in time, saving the lives of the two men.
