A gruesome incident was caught on camera near Delhi, in Uttar Pradesh's Ghaziabad, when a man was fatally run over by a vehicle. The disturbing incident was captured on video by someone recording another video for social media and has since been shared widely.

The video, which is said to have been taken last night, shows a man lying in the middle of the road when a car approaches and proceeds to run him over. The car tramples the man and drags him along the road for a little bit.
