Chandigarh: Speeding vehicles snuff out four lives across tricity
Unchecked speeding by vehicles left four people dead — three of them riding motorcycles — in separate road accidents across the tricity. On Thursday afternoon, a 27-year-old sanitation worker was killed after being hit by a car in Sector 77, Mohali. According to police, the car was speeding, killing the victim on the spot. The deceased, identified as Vinod Kumar, 28, was a resident of Dhanas, Chandigarh. Investigating officer Major Singh said Vinod, who was deployed in Sector 71, was travelling to Sector 77 on a motorcycle to have lunch with his parents. On the way, Vinod was hit by a speeding Hyundai Verna. The impact tossed Vinod in the air and he landed on the car's windshield, leading to grievous injuries. He was rushed to the civil hospital in Phase 6, where doctors declared him dead. The body was sent for a post-mortem examination. Following the incident, sanitation workers gathered outside the police station to protest, demanding that a case be registered against the car driver, who fled the scene on foot, leaving his vehicle behind. Pawan Godiyal, state general secretary of the Punjab Safai Mazdoor Federation, said Vinod was on duty at the time of the incident. His parents also work as sanitation workers in Sector 77. The federation demanded ₹10 lakh as compensation for the victim's family in line with accident insurance guidelines. On Wednesday night, a collision between a speeding KTM and a Royal Enfield Bullet near Sai Mandir in Chandigarh's Sector 29 claimed the life of one of the bikers and left two others critically injured. The deceased, Vinay, 29, who worked at a private hospital, was riding the KTM. He succumbed to serious head injuries on the spot. His pillion rider, Bittu, a resident of Ram Darbar, and the Bullet rider, Shashank from Baltana, were also seriously injured and rushed to Government Medical College and Hospital (GMCH), Sector 32. Bittu sustained multiple leg fractures, while Shashank remains unable to speak due to his critical condition. According to police, the collision, which took place around 11.30 pm, was so forceful that the helmets of all three riders were shattered. The bikes reportedly skidded for nearly 30-35 metres after the crash. Initial investigations revealed that the KTM was headed from Sector 29 towards the Sector 29/30 light point, while the Bullet was approaching from the opposite direction. While overtaking vehicles at a high speed, the KTM struck the Bullet head-on. Another accident, near the Chandimandir light point in Panchkula, also on Wednesday night, left a 30-year-old motorcyclist dead. The victim, Hitesh, had dinner at a dhaba in Chandimandir around 10 pm with his friend Sunny, said police. Sunny narrated in his complaint that after dinner, they were riding back to their village on a motorcycle. As they reached the Chandimandir light point around 10.30 pm, a rashly driven four-wheeler struck their motorcycle from behind and drove off. The impact of the collision caused Hitesh, who was riding pillion, to be thrown violently on the road, causing serious head injury. He was immediately taken to the civil hospital in Sector 6, Panchkula, from where he was referred to GMCH, Chandigarh. But he died during treatment late at night. The Chandimandir police have registered a case and are actively working to trace and arrest the absconding driver. Earlier, on Wednesday evening, a daily wage labourer was killed after being hit by a truck moving on the wrong side near Mubarikpur. The deceased, Rinku, suffered a fatal head injury and a fractured arm in the incident that occurred around 7.30 pm. According to police, Rinku was walking back home when a tipper truck came from the wrong direction and hit him. Passers-by took Rinku to GMCH, Chandigarh, where he was referred to another facility. However, he succumbed to his injuries during treatment. The driver fled the scene after the accident. The truck was seized by police and a case was registered.

'Didn't Die An Ordinary Death': Pahalgam Victim's Kin Seek Martyr Status Ahead Of PM Modi's Visit
Last Updated: Shubham Dwivedi, 31, was killed by terrorists on April 22 and his family says he should be recognised as a martyr for his courage and sacrifice 'He took the first bullet, but saved many lives. He stood fearlessly before the dreaded terrorists and didn't hesitate to reveal his identity. 'I am a proud Hindu,' he said, and the next moment, they shot him. He didn't die an ordinary death," said Sanjay Dwivedi, the father of 31-year-old Shubham Dwivedi, who was killed in the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack. Ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh, on May 30, the family of the 31-year-old is clinging to the hope that their son will be recognised as a martyr for his courage and sacrifice. Sitting in their modest Kanpur home, Sanjay Dwivedi, a retired schoolteacher, recalls the horrifying details shared with the family by eyewitnesses. 'Shubham did not try to run. He faced the terrorists. He stood in front of them and said, 'I am a Hindu.' And he was shot point-blank in the head. That courage is not ordinary — it is heroic," he said. The family believes Shubham's defiance and composure in the face of death allowed others to survive. 'His presence of mind gave others a few seconds to escape the area. Those seconds saved lives. We just want his sacrifice to be remembered by the country. That is all we ask for," Shubham's father told News18. The Dwivedis say they have only one demand from the government. 'The country should give him the honour of a martyr. That is not just for us, but for every Indian who believes in dharm, in courage, and in standing for what is right," said Sanjay. Shubham had married just weeks earlier on February 12 and was on vacation in the picturesque Baisaran meadow of Pahalgam with his wife and her sister when terrorists opened fire on tourists. Shubham was killed on the spot after being shot in the head. His wife, Aishanya Dwivedi, has since been inconsolable. 'I only have one hope now that my husband is given the status of a martyr. It would mean everything to me," she said. Family's Request Routed Through Kanpur MP The Dwivedi family first conveyed their wish to meet the prime minister to Kanpur MP Ramesh Awasthi, who responded immediately. 'We requested our parliamentarian and he not only supported us but also sent an official letter to the Prime Minister's Office," said a family member. Though no official confirmation has arrived yet, reports suggest the PM may meet the Dwivedi family during his Kanpur visit on May 30. 'Just the possibility has given us some hope and strength," the family said. A Targeted Attack on Identity The April 22 terror attack in Pahalgam claimed 26 lives, including that of a Nepali tourist. Shubham's family maintains that he was targeted for being a Hindu. 'Our son wasn't caught in random violence," a family member said. 'He was targeted for his faith. And he did not hide it — he embraced it, even in front of terrorists. That is the spirit of Bharat." Operation Sindoor Brings Some Closure The government's military response to the Pahalgam killings, Operation Sindoor, was launched on May 7 and targeted terror infrastructure across the Line of Control in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. The family called it a step that 'brought peace to Shubham's soul." MP Ramesh Awasthi, in his letter to the PMO, also mentioned the family's gratitude for the operation. Shubham was cremated with full state honours in his native village on April 24. The cremation was attended by Uttar Pradesh ministers Yogendra Upadhyay and Rakesh Sachan. Later, chief minister Yogi Adityanath personally visited the family and assured them of 'every possible support." On April 30, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi met the family and expressed support for their demand to recognise Shubham as a martyr, making it a rare instance where grief united political leaders across party lines. Awaiting National Recognition Despite overwhelming local and political support, the family is clear that their final hope rests with PM Modi. 'We have faith in our prime minister," Sanjay Dwivedi said. 'He understands the pain of families like ours. We are not asking for money. We are asking for samman—honour for our son who gave his life for others." As the date of the prime minister's visit nears, the Dwivedis await a moment they hope will transform personal tragedy into national remembrance. 'We haven't received official confirmation, but media reports say the PM is coming to Kanpur. We're hopeful. If he recognises Shubham's sacrifice, it won't just honour our family — it will honour courage itself." Watch India Pakistan Breaking News on CNN-News18.
