Gurugram, Aug. 13 -- A 24-year-old software engineer from Mumbai was killed late on Monday night when his car was crushed between two trucks near Hero Honda Chowk, police said on Tuesday. The victim, identified as Prahlad Shankar Verma, lived in a residential society in Sector 90 and worked for an American software firm based on Badshahpur-Sohna Road in Sector 48. Originally from Back Bay Reclamation in Marine Lines, Mumbai, Verma was driving his Maruti Suzuki Wagon-R towards home when the accident occurred between 11.30pm and 11.45pm in front of the Hero MotoCorp factory in Sector 33. Sandeep Kumar, public relations officer of Gurugram police, said a truck was moving ahead of Verma's vehicle while a dumper loaded with soil was at least 100-150 metres behind. "The truck in front suddenly applied brakes, forcing Verma to slow down. However, the speeding dumper trailing the Maruti Suzuki Wagon-R failed to stop and rammed the car, crushing it between both the heavy vehicles. Verma was killed instantly at the spot," he said. Kumar added that the impact was so severe it took more than one and a half hours to cut through the mangled remains of the car to extricate the mutilated body. "The drivers of the dumper and the truck had fled the spot, abandoning the vehicles. They will be traced and arrested soon. All vehicles were seized and taken to the Gurugram Sadar police station," he said. Police said commuters informed the control room immediately after the crash, and emergency responders reached the spot, but rescue was delayed due to the wreckage's condition. On the complaint of Verma's father, an FIR was registered under sections 106 (causing death by negligence), 281 (rash driving) and 324(4) (mischief causing damage between Rs.20,000 and Rs.1 lakh) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita at Gurugram Sadar police station....
