Kottayam: A 50-year-old man died after being dragged by a truck at Samkranthi on Sunday morning. Samkranthi resident Murali was an employee at a dry cleaning centre. Murali on his morning walk met with the accident after his leg got entangled in an unfastened rope from a lorry that was transporting vegetables.
The truck dragged Murali to nearly a distance of 100 m.
The lorry driver and cleaner came to know of the gruesome accident when they stopped the vehicle to gather vegetables that fell on the road.
Subsequently Gandhi Nagar police arrested the duo.
