Blueline victim's brother seeks justice
'My elderly parents were beginning to rely on him for financial support as our family income is insufficient'.
On Tuesday, 22-year-old Bhrigu Deori from Dibrugarh, Assam, was on his way to the Institute of Computer Accountants at Rajouri Garden, from his Lajwanti flat, on his bike.
He was enrolled for an accounting software course there. He never made it. He was run over by a Blueline bus that was racing with another at Harinagar.
The wheels of the speeding bus ran over the lower portion of his body, leaving him critically injured. Eyewitnesses found his identity card and called up the institute.
"We immediately rushed to Deen Dayal Upadhyay Hospital where Bhrigu had been taken for treatment," said Satya Prakash Mishra, director of the institute.
"The doctors were apprehensive about his chances of survival but surgery was conducted after which he became comatose.
Later, we shifted him to Batra Hospital, where he was operated upon two more times, but his condition kept deteriorating. We provided 75 units of blood and 25 units of platelets, but to no avail.
He passed away at 11.30 pm on Friday." In Dibrugarh, meanwhile, Uma Deori had been told that his younger brother had been injured in a road accident.
He immediately arranged for some money and made his way to Delhi, reaching three days after, only to stand by helplessly as Bhrigu breathed his last.
"Bhrigu had come to Delhi more than a year back to study. Since our family is economically strained, he had worked part-time and used to send money back home.
My elderly parents were beginning to rely on him for financial support since our family income is not sufficient," a tearful Uma told TOI.
Bhrigu's father recently suffered a heart-attack and the family had to sell off their shop to meet treatment expenses, leaving Bhrigu the only earning member of the family.
Mayapuri police station was allegedly reluctant to lodge an FIR when Bhrigu's friends approached them. Uma was forced to approach a lawyer for advice on how to proceed in the case.
"It is tragic that a promising young man lost his life due to the utter callousness of some bus driver," Mishra said.
He added that Bhrigu had been working at the institute in the marketing department and attending classes there. He had not been home for a year, and his parents are not aware that he is no more.
