Air conditioner mechanic Sameer Siddiqui, 22, got dragged out of the jaws of certain death, quite literally. On June 7, Sameer was on his way to his cousin's home in Kandivli, when he slid under a truck, got pulled by it for 100 metres and miraculously lived to tell the tale.

While the police arrested the truck driver, but he managed to secure bail. Sameer, who resides in Mira Road, was on his way back from a customer's home in the suburb on the night of June 7, and heading to a cousin's house in Kandivli east. "I asked my best friend Usman Umrao Khan to come with me. We left from Mira Road at 11.15 pm."
