An Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) official was run over by a truck here Monday morning.
The body of Kuldeep Chand Sharma, 55, was recovered from near gate number 3 of the Kashmere Gate Metro station in north Delhi at about 6 a.m.
"Kuldeep was deputed as a subedar major in the force and worked as a national language (Hindi) translator," an ITBP official said.
