Two killed after SUV rams into bike at Delhi Cantonment

“The two motorcycle riders, aged between 45 and 50 years, were seriously injured in the crash. They were immediately shifted to a hospital, where doctors declared them dead on arrival,” said DCP (Southwest) Amit Goel.

Police said a preliminary probe revealed that the motorcycle had allegedly slipped on the road and the Mahindra Thar, which was behind it, collided with the two-wheeler.

Police, however, said they are examining the exact sequence of events leading to the crash.

The victims were on their way home to Sector 1, Dwarka, from their workplace at Lodhi Road.

Police said Bhupendra is from Jhajjar in Haryana and owns a milk booth in Rohini.

At the Safdarjung Hospital mortuary, Chote Lal, Sukhbir’s elder brother, said he was returning from work when he got a call about the accident. “They said my brother was hit by a Thar. I called his number, but it kept ringing,” he added.

Lal then dialled Delhi Cantonment police station, and was told that his brother was no more.

“He had no one apart from me and my family. I want the person responsible for this to be punished,” he said.

An FIR under charges of rash driving or riding on a public way and causing death by negligence has been registered, said the DCP.
