Delhi: Minor driver and reel madness claim another life; speeding SUV hits bike in Dwarka [VIDEO]
The minor driver of the SUV granted interim bail on the grounds of the Class 10 board examinations.
Just days after the fatal Dwarka road accident, another hit-and-run case rocked the national capital earlier today. A 25-year-old delivery executive lost his life after being struck by a speeding car in West Delhi in the early hours of Saturday.
The incident occurred near the Subhash Nagar Metro red light on Najafgarh Road towards Rajouri Garden, when a fast-moving Hyundai Verna driven by a 27-year-old man rammed into the electric scooter being ridden by the delivery boy. The victim was shifted to Deen Dayal Upadhyay (DDU) Hospital, where doctors declared him brought dead. The victim, identified as Hem Shakar (25), was working as a delivery executive for a quick-commerce company.
