Farrukhabad Grandmother Killed When Thar Rolls Back During Parking

Police attribute the rollback to an unset handbrake, with action pending a family complaint.

Overview

  • An elderly woman, Sarla Katiyar, was crushed against a boundary wall in Farrukhabad after her grandson’s Mahindra Thar rolled backward Thursday, as shown on home CCTV.
  • Fatehgarh police said Sunday the driver forgot to set the handbrake and the SUV rolled down a slope at the gate.
  • Officers opened an inquiry after the video spread online, yet no FIR has been registered because the family has not filed a complaint.
  • Police said they learned of the case only after the footage surfaced, and their initial review has found no sign of foul play.
  • Neighbors allege the family moved the SUV inside and kept the matter private, a claim under examination as the case renews focus on handbrake use and parking on sloped driveways.
