Death could not be more tragic than Manmohan Sharma’s family that lost its only 13 years old son Hemant Sagar in a road accident. Friend and neighbour Vinod Yadav alias Kalia aged 16 years son of Dinesh Yadav was driving also died on the spot. Bodies of both bike riders were partly crushed under the wheels of the cement carrying truck. The accident took place between Karma and Jhumri on Ranchi Patna Road, Jhumri Telaiya. The truck with registration no. BPM 9877 hit right in front the bike Hero Honda JH12C 7535 carrying the two. The truck didn’t immediately stopped after accident and the moving truck dragged the bike Hero Honda till Charadih, at least 800 meters from the accident spot.
The mob went berserk and resorted to a road jam and set the truck on fire. The mob in aggression pelted stones on the fire brigade called to douse the flames. Police had to do eight rounds of fire to control the situation. SDO Sunil Kumar reached at scene within half an hour and a very heavy deployment police force and Anti Riot Squad was there. Still the jam could not be released and it took four hours of conciliation and persuation in presence of Koderma BDO Prabhash Kumar Dutta, Koderma Thana Inspector and Telaiya Thana Inspector Harendra Tiwari to release the jam. After assurance of compensation the blockades could be removed.
Hemant was a bright student of DAV studying in std. 6 and his father an employee at Samonta Petrol Pump. Vinod and Hemant both are resident of Charadih.
Officials present expressed grief over the casualty. However the jam lead to rescheduling of examinations for some schools for those students who couldn’t reach their schools to appear for their examination due to serious disruption in movement of school buses which remained stranded on road for long hours.
