Surat: In a shocking incident, a man with a rope tied around his feet has been severely injured after he was dragged for about a kilometre by a truck in the Hazira area of Gujarat's Surat district on Monday. The Hazira police have started an investigation into the matter. The CCTV footage of the accident has also surfaced online.
According to the police, a car driver who witnessed the scene rescued the man after he chased the truck and somehow managed to cut the rope saving the victim's life. It is not yet known how the man ended up tied to the rope. The man suffered severe injuries on his head, legs, and hands in the accident. He was shifted to a nearby private hospital and is currently undergoing treatment.
In a similar incident in Tamil Nadu last month, a biker miraculously escaped with minor injuries after he was snagged by a rope from a truck, throwing him in the air. The biker was identified as Muthu from Srivaikuntam town in the Thoothukudi district. The entire incident was caught on CCTV. Muthu was on his way to work when the mishap happened. When he was crossing the Eral region, he was suddenly pulled off his bike and fell to the ground. A passerby who saw him falling rushed to help Muthu and took him a couple of minutes to get back to his senses.
