Delhi hit-and-run case
In a separate incident, a 40-year-old man died after a speeding Thar rammed his motorcycle in Delhi's posh Moti Bagh area. The incident took place on Friday night.
The victim has been identified as Beche Lal. He was reportedly standing beside his black Pulsar motorcycle on the roadside when a white Thar SUV allegedly struck him. The impact of the collision caused the motorcycle to crash into a truck that was passing in front.
During the preliminary investigation, authorities discovered empty liquor bottles inside the SUV, raising suspicions that the driver may have been under the influence of liquor at the time of the incident.
Bechu Lal's family hails from Uttar Pradesh's Gonda. Lal moved to Delhi for better earning opportunities. He is survived by five children and was the sole earning person in the family. Last night, he had gone to meet someone in Moti Bagh when the accident occurred, the family said.
