A seven-year-old boy has been hospitalised with serious injuries after he was run over by a car at Kuttamassery in Aluva on Tuesday.
The police have launched a probe for the car that did not stop after hitting the boy, who had fallen out of an autorikshaw rode by his father. The boy sustained injuries to his head and body and is admitted to the ICU of a private hospital.
Meanwhile, there are allegations that the police refused to intervene right away and told the family to file a complaint first.
From a CCTV footage of the incident, vehicles can be seen passing in a line when the boy falls down from the autorickshaw and the car running over him.
