Four persons killed in separate accidents in Northeast Delhi

After passersby made a PCR call,the three were rushed to Guru Teg Bahadur (GTB) hospital,where Shahana and Nazreen were declared dead on arrival. Though police hoped that Sikander would be able to give a statement,he succumbed to injuries on Monday.

Sikander and Nazreen were engaged,and were expected to be married this November. Shahana was widowed a few years ago. A case has been registered,and a probe is on to identify the vehicle. The bodies have been handed over to the victims’ families. The second incident was reported in the Khajuri Khas police station limits,where a Class XI student and his two friends travelling on a motorcycle died after ramming into a road divider.

According to police,the incident occurred near the CRPF camp in Khajuri Khas,while the victims were returning to their home in Bhajanpura after visiting their tuition teacher. “They were speeding and since it was too dark,the rider did not see the road divider. The bike skid and rammed into the divider,killing 17-year-old Gagan Singh on the spot. His two friends — Himanshu (17) and Arpit (13) — were critically injured. The impact was such that the bike skidded for a few metres before halting at the end of the divider. They were rushed to GTB hospital,where Singh was declared dead on arrival. His two friends are in a critical condition,” said a senior police officer.

While Himanshu and Singh are Class XI students at a government school,Arpit is a Class IX student at a public school.
