Pradeep Nagpal, a resident of Nai Abadi here, who was working as reporter at Abohar for a Jalandhar based group of newspapers, succumbed to injuries on being taken to Sriganganagar after an accident today evening.
The bike of the 45-year-old journalist was hit reportedly by a speeding car which had an Uttarakhand registration number plate near Alamgarh Chowk. The car driver brought Nagpal to the Abohar Civil Hospital. As Nagpal had suffered a head injury, the doctors referred him to Sriganganagar. The car driver reportedly accompanied the vehicle arranged by the victim’s family to Sriganganagar but after learning about the death of the journalist, he reportedly fled, the family of the deceased said.
The body was brought to Abohar hospital for a post mortem. The Abohar Journalist Association has deeply mourned the tragic death of the colleague and demanded that the car that allegedly hit the bike should be traced and strict action should be taken against the erring driver. President Tejinder Singh Khalsa described the death as a bog loss to the fraternity.
