Biker dies after being hit by truck, driver nabbed by passersby

A biker died and the pillion rider seriously injured in an accident on the Landran-Banur National Highway this evening. The deceased, Sanju (40), and the injured were both natives of UP.

Both the migrant workers had gone to Dairi village on a bike to buy milk for a tea shop. On their way back, when they reached the chowk, a speeding truck hit their bike. Sanju died on the spot.

The deceased's wife, children and a number of migrant workers reached the spot. Meanwhile, passersby caught the truck driver from the spot and handed him over to the police.

Traffic was disrupted for some time as the deceased's family staged a dharna on the road seeking justice for the victim. They also accused the police of coming late to pick up the body.

The IT City police station SHO, Amandeep Kamboj, said further action was being taken.
