Aligarh man dies after Audi collision; family alleges intent

A man named Manoj died after an Audi allegedly hit his motorcycle and ran over him in Uttar Pradesh’s Aligarh around 11 pm on October 20, India Today reported. His family alleges that the collision followed an argument over honking and space to pass on the road and was deliberate.

The incident occurred in the Bannadevi police station area. According to the family’s account, the Audi struck the motorcycle from behind, knocking Manoj onto the road before running over him. Kanhaiya, who was riding pillion, was injured.

Aligarh Superintendent of Police (City) Aditya Bansal said Kanhaiya had told police that the collision was intentional and that the car ran over Manoj after he fell. That account remains an allegation under investigation, not an established finding of intent.

Car seized as police examine evidence

Police have secured CCTV footage connected to the incident and seized the Audi for a technical examination. A field unit has also collected evidence. Investigators have identified the driver and formed teams to arrest the accused.

Manoj’s family claims the Audi belongs to Chaudhary Devaraj Singh, a former BJP district president. The report does not establish ownership through police confirmation or identify Singh as the driver. It includes no response from Singh or the identified driver.

The investigation is continuing. The reported police account does not specify what the CCTV footage shows or give the results of the vehicle examination.
