The incident occurred at around 6 pm on Wednesday under the Alipur Police Station area when Head Constable Amit was regulating traffic near the Delhi border.
A speeding vehicle rammed into the traffic policeman and the driver fled the scene without stopping, PTI cited a Delhi Police official as saying.
The constable was rushed to Narela’s Satyawadi Raja Harish Chandra Hospital (SRHC), where doctors declared him brought dead on arrival. Amit was a resident of Sonipat in neighbouring Haryana.
