Police personnel try to control the situation after villagers blocked the highway
KANPUR: A rape survivor’s father was crushed to death by a speeding truck on Kanpur-Sagar highway, just metres away from Ghatampur community health centre, where his 13-year-old daughter was undergoing medical examination for sexual assault early Wednesday.
It all happened in front of policemen escorting the man and his daughter, who was allegedly gang-raped by two youths, including a policeman's son late Monday.
After the man lay sprawled in blood on the highway, police swiftly took him to Lala Lajpat Rai Hospital, Kanpur, where doctors declared him dead.
