Police investigations revealed that the accident occurred due to over-speeding. The double cabin vehicle, en route to Lalazar from PIDC, lost control at high speed, colliding with another vehicle, resulting in the casualties. The driver of the double-cabin vehicle fled the scene after the crash.
Police investigators suspect that the tie-rod of the vehicle might have broken due to over-speeding, leading to the deadly accident. The vehicle is reportedly owned by a private company.
Meanwhile, former Sindh Assembly speaker Agha Siraj Durrani expressed grief and sorrow and extended condolences to the bereaved family and prayed for the departed soul. He remembered Haroon Adam as a dedicated and hardworking officer who consistently performed his duties with honesty.
