New Delhi : A 40-year-old man was killed when an SUV collided with his motorcycle in West Delhi’s Moti Nagar area, local police said on Saturday. The victim’s younger brother said the incident occurred while Bechu Lal was on his way to the hospital. He had parked his bike behind a truck near a signal when a Thar came from behind and hit him, killing him on the spot.
After hitting the bike, the Thar mounted the footpath, collided with an electric pole, moved ahead, and then hit a stone seat built along the roadside wall. Visuals showed two liquor bottles on the car’s front seat. The SUV driver fled the scene after the incident and is still at large.
Police are examining nearby CCTV footage to determine the speed of the Thar. “The driver of the Thar fled immediately after the incident. Legal action is being taken, and multiple teams have been formed to apprehend him, a senior police official told PTI. Police have registered a case and are reviewing CCTV footage.
Earlier this month, a pedestrian was killed, and another was injured after being run over by a Thar near the Gyarah Murti landmark in the Chanakyapuri area. Following the incident, liquor bottles, hard drugs, including LSD and cocaine, were recovered from the vehicle.
