Fresh details from the FIR related to the death of 25-year-old biker Kamal Dhyani have surfaced. He tragically passed away after falling into an open pit belonging to the Delhi Jal Board (DJB) in Janakpuri while returning home from work. The FIR has highlighted significant safety lapses at the project site, revealing that the pit on the main road lacked necessary safety measures such as warning signs, reflectors, barricades, lighting, or security arrangements.
The FIR states that on a Friday morning around 8:03 am, a woman made a PCR call to the Janakpuri police station reporting that a biker had fallen into a deep pit near B-3B Block, Andhra School, Janakpuri. Subsequently, a PCR vehicle with ASI Sunil Kumar and CT Samarjeet rushed to the location. Upon arrival, they discovered a man and his motorcycle in a pit dug in the middle of the road, measuring about 20 feet in length, 13 feet in width, and 14–15 feet in depth. Initial investigations revealed that the pit was part of a DJB project.
Following the incident, the injured man was rescued from the pit with the assistance of the fire brigade and taken to Deen Dayal Upadhyay (DDU) Hospital in a PCR vehicle accompanied by HC Babulal. Despite efforts to locate eyewitnesses at the scene and the hospital, none were found. The police called in a crime team and an FSL team for examination and documentation purposes.
Upon receiving information from DDU Hospital that the unidentified man brought in by PCR had been pronounced dead, it was determined that the deceased was approximately 26 years old. Identified as Kamal Dhyani, son of Naresh Chand Dhyani from Palam Colony, Delhi, the post-mortem was conducted at DDU Hospital mortuary under PM No. 235/26 in the presence of family members. The FIR pointed out the negligence of the Delhi Jal Board and its contractor in failing to secure the open pit on the main road, leading to the tragic incident.
The FIR emphasized that despite the awareness of the risks involved in leaving an uncovered pit on a public road, no safety precautions or security measures were implemented by the concerned department and contractor. Consequently, a case has been registered under Section 105 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) based on the site conditions, medical findings, and other relevant information, with ongoing investigations into the matter.
