A three-year-old girl, sleeping on the roadside near the Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister's official residence in Shimla, was allegedly run over by a government car today, the police said.
Nancy, the daughter of migrant labourers, was sleeping on the side of a restricted road when she was crushed to death by a government vehicle this afternoon, Superintendent of Police (SP) Sanjeev Gandhi said.
The driver rushed her to a hospital where she was declared dead on arrival, Mr Gandhi said.
The girl's family, natives of Jharkhand, were working on a construction site near the Haryana Circuit House in the vicinity of Oakover, he said.
A case has been registered against the driver and further investigation is underway, he added.
