In a rerun of the horrific hit-and drag case in Delhi's Kanjhawala area early this year, a similar incident has come to light from Uttar Pradesh where a dumper truck dragged a 6-year-old kid, and his 67-year-old grandfather for over 2kms after both of them got stuck under the speeding vehicle following a crash. 

A video of the truck dragging the scooty as sparking is seen and Udit Narayan Chansoria, along with grandson Satvik still stuck has gone viral on social media.

The video shot by a person on another vehicle shows bikers alerting the truck driver and asking him to stop, but the driver continues to drive.
