On the night of August 27, Lakshmi Narayan Jhanwar was struck and killed by a speeding vehicle in Faridabad. The incident, which occurred at approximately 8:35 p.m., has left the victim's family searching for closure as the investigation appears to have stalled. The victim's son has publicly raised concerns regarding the effectiveness of the city's surveillance infrastructure in the wake of his father's death.

According to reports, the city of Faridabad operates a network of approximately 25,000 CCTV cameras intended to monitor public safety and assist in law enforcement efforts. However, the family notes that despite this significant technological investment, police have yet to make any arrests or identify the driver responsible for the fatal collision. The case has sparked a broader conversation about the practical utility of the city's surveillance system when it comes to solving violent crimes and providing justice for victims of traffic-related fatalities.

While the incident is documented as a hit-and-run, the lack of progress has led the family to question the oversight and maintenance of the camera network. Authorities have not yet provided a public explanation as to why the footage has not yielded a suspect or a vehicle identification. The family continues to press for transparency, hoping that the surveillance data will eventually lead to the apprehension of the individual involved.
