On Tuesday, a 23-year-old man working for a food delivery company was killed in a hit-and-run accident between the Tragad toll booth and Tapovan Circle after being run over by an unidentified vehicle.
Hardik Paraskar, the victim, lived with his family in Gandhinagar’s Bhat village. According to an FIR filed with the Adalaj police, his elder brother Rajan Paraskar told cops that Hardik worked as a food delivery boy for Zomato and had returned home before the accident.
“Around 8 p.m. on Tuesday, he came to the house to get his sweater as it was cold outdoors and he needed to work late,” Rajan stated in the FIR. After an hour, an anonymous person called Rajan and informed him that Hardik had been in an accident and had called them to the scene. Rajan and his family arrived at the location in front of Shivshakti Dhaba near the Tragad toll booth and found Hardik dead.
