But when they noticed that the rickshaw was stationery for a long time and that there was no movement of the driver, they informed the police.
When 108 paramedics arrived at the spot and checked the pulse of the driver, they reported that he was dead and refused to take him to a hospital. The police were then called and a panchanama was conducted.
The wife of the driver was called and his belongings handed over to her. Police have registered a case of unnatural death and sent
his body for post-mortem examination.
