Indore (Madhya Pradesh): A 17-year-old IIT-JEE aspirant on his way home in Aurangabad from Kota where he was attending coaching classes for the last two years lost his life in a tragic accident in the city on Saturday while his companion sustained severe injuries.
Tanishq, son of Santosh Jaiswal had planned to go home but as there is no direct train from Kota to Auragabad he boarded a train to Indore from where he had booked a bus to his hometown. The incident occurred at Trenching Ground at Devguradia under Khudel police station limit around 8:30 pm on Saturday when he was going to catch a travel bus from Navlakha Bus stand for his hometown. The truck driver fled the scene after the accident.
His family members said that Tanishq reached Indore by train and halted at his family friend's house. He had to board the bus around 9 pm from Navlakha Bus and his friend Dheeraj offered to drop him at the bus stand on his two-wheeler.
They were heading towards Navlakha when a truck coming from behind wanted to cross them. As the road was waterlogged and the left lane of the road was filled with potholes, Dheeraj who was driving the two-wheeler hesitated in getting off the road especially as they had luggage with them. Resultantly, the truck rammed into their two-wheeler, throwing both of them on the road. The duo was rushed to the hospital where Tanishq succumbed to his injuries around 2 am while Dheeraj is undergoing treatment.
The police began a probe and handed over the body to the family members after conducting the post-mortem of the deceased.
