MARGAO: A man died after allegedly being knocked down by a Force tempo driven in a rash and negligent manner within the Konkan Railway Station premises at Margao on November 5, 2026.
According to a complaint lodged by ASI Santosh Gaonkar of Margao Town Police Station, the incident occurred at around 9 am in front of Benjo Canteen, inside the Konkan Railway Station compound.
The accused driver, identified as Anand Kumar, a resident of Delhi, was allegedly driving a Force tempo from the railway station entrance gate towards the exit gate when, upon reaching near Benjo Canteen, he dashed against Shankar Kale, a native of Solapur, Maharashtra, who was sitting on the side near the right turn.
Kale sustained fracture injuries in the accident. However, the accused driver allegedly failed to inform the police about the incident and did not shift the injured man to hospital for medical treatment.
As a result, the injured man reportedly remained at the railway station premises until around 3 pm. He was subsequently shifted to hospital by 108 ambulance staff, where he was declared brought dead.
Margao Town Police have registered a case in connection with the incident. Further investigation is being conducted by PSI Shubham Gaunkar of Margao Town Police Station.
