The deceased have been identified as Sanjeev Kumar(45), who is a resident of Bhim Nagar and worked at a private company in sector 18, and Keval(46), a labourer who stayed in Gurgaon village. The accused has been identified as Abdul Rahim, 27, a resident of Surat Nagar in Gurgaon. He is a native of Uttarakhand and has a scrap business, said police.

According to police, the incident took place around 11.45 pm when Rahim was going towards Iffco Chowk after attending a party, in his Brezza car. Police said he was going from CRPF chowk towards Atul Kataria chowk when he lost balance and the car jumped into the lane from where traffic from the opposite side was coming.

A police officer, requesting anonymity, said, “Some construction work is going on at the spot and there is no divider there for lanes. The accused was drunk and he lost the balance of the vehicle. As the car manoeuvred and veered into the opposite lane, it rammed into two Activa scooters.”

Police said the accused also suffered minor injuries and was taken to the civil hospital. He was discharged and arrested.

In the FIR, Sanjeev Kumar’s brother-in-law, Devender, said that he received information that his relative had been in an accident late at night and rushed to the spot. “When I reached, I was informed that he had died. His Activa was lying on the road in a dismantled condition. I saw that at some distance, another scooter was lying and passersby told me that he too had died. The incident took place due to reckless driving of the Brezza driver,” he said.
