The girl, daughter of Shashi and Siddalingaiah, had walked a short distance from the entrance when the vehicle suddenly entered the lane, said a report by the NDTV. CCTV footage captured the chilling moment when the child appeared on the screen first, followed by a car that turned into the narrow road and continued straight without slowing down, running over her before speeding away.

Police said the driver did not stop at any point and appeared completely unaware that a child was directly in front of the vehicle. He fled the scene immediately after the accident, the report said.

On hearing the young girl’s screams, her parents and relatives rushed out and found her injured on the ground. She suffered significant injuries to her face and other parts of her body and was quickly taken to a hospital, where she is undergoing treatment, the report noted.

The Nelamangala Traffic Police have registered a case in this regard, and are trying to identify and track down the absconding driver. Investigators are reviewing the CCTV footage and collecting additional evidence from the neighbourhood. Authorities said the probe is ongoing.
