AAI Assistant Manager hit on Delhi airport runway critical

New Delhi: It was distraught Dussehra for Omprakash Kumar’s family on Sunday. Two days on, the Airports Authority of India assistant manager (mechanical training) is battling for life at a city hospital after being hit on the international airport tarmac by a motorcycle.
CISF Inspector S S Rana was riding the motorcycle that hit Omprakash, 55, on a lane near the runway, at 7.50 pm on Sunday.
The victim received grave injuries on head and spine and is in ICU. His family members today claimed Rana was speeding, and was drunk, when the incident occurred.

Son Pravesh Kumar, 23, also blamed CISF and Delhi Police for their “high-handed behaviour” and taking the case lightly, for the accused is a CISF official. Omprakash, Pravesh said, recently got promoted to senior superintendent.
According to the victim’s colleagues, who did not want to be named, the accused was not examined to check if he was inebriated, for Rana had sustained injuries on his face and upper body. CISF, though, says Rana was neither inebriated nor was he violating any speed rule.
