FIR filed in accident case after CM’s office steps in

Lucknow: More than three weeks after a road accident claimed the life of a 60-year-old man, police have registered an FIR in the case after the victim’s son approached the Chief Minister’s Office and filed a complaint through the Integrated Grievance Redressal System (IGRS), alleging inaction by local police.The FIR was lodged at Sushant Golf City police station on June 14 based on a complaint by Mohit Yadav (37), a resident of Naktamau village in Gosainganj. He alleged that his father Ramesh Chandra Yadav died from injuries sustained in a road accident that took place on May 18, 2026.According to the complaint, Mohit was riding a motorcycle with his father as a pillion rider when a car allegedly being reversed negligently by its driver Seema Agrawal hit their bike near a govt school in the Pasi Dhakwa area under Sushant Golf City police station limits.Both riders fell on the road, and Ramesh Chandra Yadav, who was on the pillion, suffered severe head injuries. He was initially taken to RS Hospital in Gosainganj and later shifted to a private hospital in Ahmamau for a CT scan. Doctors reportedly informed the family that he had suffered critical brain injuries. He was subsequently placed on ventilator support at RS Hospital, where he died on May 20, two days after the accident.

Speaking to TOI, Mohit alleged that despite going to the golf city police about the fatal accident after the death of his father his case was not registered. “When I first approached Sushant Golf City police station, I was asked to come back in the evening. After that, I was made to run from pillar to post every day for registration of an FIR. Left with no option, I lodged a complaint on the IGRS portal and wrote to the Chief Minister’s Office seeking intervention,” Mohit told TOI.Following the complaints, police registered the FIR on Sunday nearly a month after the incident.Responding to allegations of delay, DCP (south zone) Amit Anand told TOI that the FIR could not be registered immediately due to discrepancies in the complaint and the absence of crucial medical evidence. “The complainant had initially mentioned an incorrect date of the incident. Moreover, no post-mortem examination was conducted after the death,” Anand said.
