knocked down by a truck near Harpa Bazar in Bihar's Purnia district this morning, a police officer said.
Kanhaiya Kumar was walking to his school when a truck knocked him down and he was crushed under the wheels, Superintendent of Police (SP) Amit Lodha said.
The body has been sent for post-mortem, he said.
The driver fled from the spot after abandoning the vehicle as a moob soon gathered at the spot and tried to set it on fire protesting rash driving in the area, Lodha said.
The mob later blocked the NH-31 demanding the arrest of the truck driver and compensation to the next of kin of the deceased, the SP said.
