Saim, a little child, was killed when the driver reversed and ran him over while he was filling the truck with water.
The driver and the tanker have been arrested by police, and legal action has been launched.
Saim, a resident of the KB Society in Buffer Zone Block 16-A, had just gathered water from a filtration plant when he was ensnared beneath the rolling tanker.
Before the police stepped in and arrested the driver, the angry residents beat him and broke the windows of the car.
Abdul Razzaq, the victim’s uncle, attributed the frequent mishaps to unregulated water tankers that roamed freely in residential neighborhoods.
Saim’s uncle disclosed that the youngster was a fourth-grader and the oldest of five siblings, while his grandfather called for the tight enforcement of stringent traffic limits.
