A 27‑year‑old systems engineer from Tata Consultancy Services died on Thursday night after a reversing JCB earthmover struck his motorcycle near the Moulsari Avenue Rapid Metro station in Gurgaon. Police have seized the vehicle and are probing the incident following the victim’s father’s complaint about inadequate road‑work signage.
The accident occurred late on Thursday night near the Moulsari Avenue Rapid Metro station in Gurgaon, when a JCB earthmover that was reversing struck the motorcycle of 27‑year‑old Tushar Kumar, a systems engineer at Tata Consultancy Services. The impact caused severe injuries, and Kumar was pronounced dead at the scene.
Kumar had been returning home after completing his shift at the TCS office in Gurgaon. Colleagues described him as a diligent professional who had recently joined the firm’s development team.
His father, who arrived at the site shortly after the crash, alleged that the ongoing road‑work in the area lacked proper direction signs and warning indicators, contributing to the mishap. He lodged a formal complaint with local authorities, demanding accountability.
Police responded by seizing the JCB machine and initiating a forensic examination. Investigators are reviewing CCTV footage and eyewitness statements to determine whether negligence in road‑work management played a role.
The incident has reignited concerns about construction safety and traffic management in rapidly expanding urban corridors such as Gurgaon, where heavy machinery often operates close to commuter routes.
