In a shocking case of road rage and betrayal, a teenager in Chhattisgarh lost his life on his 15th birthday after being intentionally run over by a friend. The incident occurred in the Ranai village area of Koriya district, where what began as a birthday outing ended in a cold-blooded murder. The victim, Ritesh Singh, had gone out with his friends to celebrate at the local Jhumka Dam. After a night of heavy drinking, a dispute broke out between Ritesh and Vidyachandra Sahu. The catalyst for the violence was Ritesh’s decision to call Sahu’s father and reveal their location, an act that Sahu perceived as a major betrayal.
Witness statements and forensic evidence suggest that Sahu waited for Ritesh to be alone on the road before accelerating his vehicle and striking him with immense force. The victim was left with no chance of survival, dying shortly after reaching the hospital. The police investigation highlighted that the accused tried to portray the incident as a random accident to evade justice. However, under intense questioning, the truth emerged, leading to Sahu’s arrest. The case has sent shockwaves through the local community, highlighting the dangers of substance abuse and the tragic consequences of impulsive violence among youth.
