A domestic worker was killed after being run over by a Mahindra Thar while resting in the stilt parking area of a four-storey Gurgaon apartment building on Tuesday afternoon. Police said the woman driver initially rushed the 57-year-old to a private hospital, but after doctors declared her dead, allegedly brought her body back and left it at the accident spot.

The deceased was identified as Guddi Devi from Mahoba in Uttar Pradesh. She lived with her family in Bhondsi nearby and worked as a domestic help at Ansal Versalia Society in Sector 67, where the incident took place.

The driver lives on the fourth floor of the building. Police are yet to arrest her, and have not revealed her name.

According to police, the incident occurred between 2 pm and 2.20 pm. After finishing her work, Guddi was sleeping in the society’s ground-floor stilt parking area when a woman reversed her Mahindra Thar and accidentally ran over Guddi..

“Preliminary investigations revealed that the vehicle ran over the victim’s chest, causing fatal internal injuries and multiple fractures,” said police.

Police said the driver panicked, raised an alarm, and alerted neighbours. Using her other car (an SUV), she rushed the injured woman to a private hospital in Sector 68. “However, after doctors examined the victim and declared her dead, the driver allegedly returned to the society with the body, placed it at the exact spot where the accident occurred, and left,” said officers.

Police said Guddi’s nephew alleged that the driver did not inform anyone about her death after abandoning the body.

Police officers said the control room was alerted by the victim’s family, following which officers from the Sector 65 police station reached the spot and took possession of the body. Guddi’s relatives and other domestic workers gathered in protest outside the driver’s house.

“An FIR has been registered against the woman driver under charges of causing death by negligence and rash driving. The Mahindra Thar has been seized, and we are examining CCTV footage from the location to ascertain the exact sequence of events,” a police officer said.

Police said the driver was questioned on Tuesday and the post-mortem report is awaited.
