Two killed in motorcycle crash in North Delhi; victim falls off flyover
The incident took place near Majlis Park Metro station in North Delhi, police said.
According to the Delhi Police, the accident took place around 9 pm on the flyover loop road which connects the Ring Road to Wazirabad
Two men were killed when their motorcycle crashed on the Wazirabad-bound flyover loop after hitting a boundary wall on Sunday night. Police said the impact of the crash was such that one of the victims fell off the flyover, into a drain below. His body was retrieved by rescuers later.
The incident took place near Majlis Park Metro station in North Delhi, police said.
The deceased have been identified as Saf Ali (20), a resident of Sangam Vihar in Burari, and Shahid, a resident of JJ Colony in Bawana.
According to the police, the accident took place around 9 pm on the flyover loop road which connects the Ring Road to Wazirabad.
Police said Saif, who owned the bike, was riding it. Shahid, who wanted to be a motor mechanic to support his family after his father’s death, was taking classes for the same.
A source said Shahid lived in Sangam Vihar with his aunt.
A police officer said that prima facie, it appeared that both were drunk and were returning from a friend’s party when the incident happened.

When the police reached the spot, they found a white motorcycle near a drain. An enquiry revealed that two men had already been taken to Babu Jagjivan Ram Hospital by passersby. Police said the men were declared dead on arrival by doctors.
“No foul play has come into picture as of now. It seems like the bike skidded and hit the wall after the duo lost control,” a police officer said.
Police said that the exact cause of death will be ascertained once the post-mortem examination report arrives.
They said no eyewitnesses have come forward so far either from the scene of the accident or the hospital. A case under Sections 281 and 106(1) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita has been registered on the basis of DD entry and preliminary findings.
