Road Rage in Meerut: E-rickshaw driver killed with iron rod
A minor road collision turned fatal in Meerut's Partapur area on Friday evening after an e-rickshaw driver was beaten to death in a case of road rage. The accused, Nirvair Singh, a home tutor from Shradhapuri Sector 3, was arrested after allegedly attacking 49-year-old Naresh, a resident of Jeevanpuri in Rithani, with an iron rod, police said on Saturday.
Superintendent of police (SP) City Ayush Vikram Singh confirmed that a case has been filed under Section 103 (murder) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. 'The accused has been produced in court and sent to jail. Further investigation is in progress,' he said.
The incident occurred near the Rithani Peer locality along Delhi Road, where culvert construction work was in progress. Naresh's e-rickshaw had reportedly brushed against a Scorpio SUV carrying Singh and his family, who were en route to watch a movie.
Following the minor collision, an argument broke out. Eyewitnesses said Naresh picked up bricks and threw them at Singh and the SUV, injuring his hand and damaging the vehicle's window. In retaliation, Singh reportedly pulled an iron rod from his vehicle's trunk and struck Naresh multiple times on the head.
Naresh collapsed on the road, bleeding heavily. He was taken to a private hospital nearby but was declared dead on arrival.
As the news spread, bystanders and local residents reacted with anger, thrashing Singh at the spot in front of his wife and children. The police arrived and took Singh into custody, preventing further violence.
Later, the situation escalated when Naresh's family reached the police station with the body and tried to block the road in protest. Residents from the area joined the demonstration and gheraoed the Partapur police station, demanding strict action. Some protesters attempted to assault the accused inside the station and vandalised the SUV involved in the incident.
Police personnel controlled the crowd and assured that legal proceedings were underway.
Police have seized the iron rod, the SUV, and the e-rickshaw as part of the investigation. Witnesses told police that several people saw the assault, but no one intervened until Naresh collapsed.
A forensic team visited the site to collect evidence.

Unregistered agencies offer fake overseas jobs for youngsters in Punjab, Haryana and Chandigarh on social media platforms
"The lured youth are told to pay anywhere between Rs 1.50 lakh to Rs 3 lakh, and a fake offer letter and visa are issued to them. They are later told that for some reason, they could not avail the job and money they have paid is non-refundable as they have already signed a legal agreement with them. The jobs which are offered to them are of helpers, waiters carpenters, cooks, housekeepers, masons, drivers, electricians, food packers, security guards, plumbers, crane operators and so forth,'' he added. A joint team from the Protectorate of Emigrants, Chandigarh and Chandigarh Police raided the premises of an unregistered immigration agent in Sector 34-A on June 14. The firm was found to be offering overseas jobs without a valid license and later a case was registered. Also, numerous incriminating documents, including two laptops, 17 mobile phones, fake overseas job offer letters, and other evidence, were seized. "This unregistered firm had been using social media platforms to lure unsuspecting youth with false promises of high-paying overseas jobs in hotels and construction companies in countries such as Georgia, Jordan, Azerbaijan, and Dubai. Further investigations, including financial trails, are currently underway to identify and arrest the owners and others involved,'' he said. Singh also informed that the firm for the last ten months, was operating teller-caller services and young ladies were employed to call the prospective clients. "They were taught what to speak to the client and what to offer. They were given fake names and the mobiles they operated were issued by the firms so that the youth would never ever be able to trace them back," he added. The statements of all the girls were recorded and were let off. "The complaint in the case was that a youth was promised a job is Jordan, and he paid Rs 1.15 lakh, but later he was told that he cannot get the job due to hostilities between India and Pakistan,'' he said. Singh said,`` We urge youth not to fall prey to misleading social media advertisements offered by illegal and unregistered agents offering high-paying overseas job offers. Such agents frequently target destinations including Azerbaijan, Jordan, Luxembourg, Georgia, Cambodia, and Thailand. Aspiring overseas job seekers are strongly advised to verify the credentials of recruiting agents through the official eMigrate portal of the Ministry of External Affairs: and on Twitter handle @PoEChandigarh.''
