The nephew of Suresh Raina, who lost his life in the hit-and-run incident

Former Indian cricketer Suresh Raina's nephew, Saurabh Kumar, died in a tragic hit-and-run accident in Kangra, Himachal Pradesh. Another youth also lost his life. The accused driver fled but was later arrested by police.

In a terrible accident, 27-year-old Saurav Kumar, son of Suresh Raina’s maternal uncle, a former Indian cricketer, lost his life in a hit-and-run accident near the Gaggal airport, Kangra, on Thursday morning. The second one, a 19-year-old Shubham, was another victim who was killed in the sad event.

The police report indicated that a driver, whose name was missing, was driving rashly in the Himachal Timber area in Gaggal when he ran into a scooter on which both Saurabh and Shubham were riding. The driver embodies a chilling case of indifference because after all, he left the place where the accident happened soon after that.

As the issue has been determined, the police at Gaggal began an investigation and a mission to find the taxi driver. The arrest of an accused identified as Sher Singh from Mandi district took place after the CCTV footage of the area played an important role.

That accident has put the Raina family and the community within the neighborhood to be in a situation of shock and grief. Saurabh, who belonged to Gaggal and the same place where Raina's maternal home is, had a close relationship with him.

The family member was speaking to the media, "We are as sad as the sky is bright with this great loss of Saurabh. Saurabh was a young individual with a bright future. Our hearts go to his parents and loved ones during this hard time."

The local authorities will investigate the matter thoroughly, therefore, the circumstances of how the accident occurred will be established. The suspect driver is still in police custody, and we can expect an imminent filing of charges.

This case of road accidents once again emphasizes the need for the strict implementation of traffic rules and severe punishments for the wrongdoers who are responsible for such road carnages.
