A shocking incident in Avinashi, Tamil Nadu, has raised alarm over EV safety after a Tata Harrier EV allegedly ran over its owner on August 14, 2025. CCTV footage shows the SUV rolling backwards down a slope with its door open before the man could fully step inside. Attempting to stop the vehicle, he was dragged out, suffered a severe head injury, and his legs were crushed. Bystanders narrowly saved him from being hit again. He was rushed to hospital, where doctors allegedly declared him dead. The victim’s family, still in shock, has not lodged a complaint, though reports suggest the car had shown earlier software issues. Tata Motors, in an official statement, expressed condolences and said preliminary video observations point to the motor not being engaged when the SUV rolled. The case has ignited online debate over semi-autonomous driving features and their risks in Indian conditions.
