Biker, 2 others suffer injuries in hit-and-run

In a hit-and-run case, three men, including a 60-year-old, were injured after a speeding car collided with a motorcycle which then hit an e-rickshaw in the Narela area of outer north Delhi, an official on Monday said.

The accident took place around 8.45 pm on Sunday when a car first rammed into a motorcycle. The impact of the collision caused the motorcycle to veer off and strike an e-rickshaw, said the officer.

The motorcycle rider, identified as Jagdamba Prasad Singh (60), and two passengers in the e-rickshaw, Shoyeb (21) and Ameer (19), sustained injuries in the incident, the police said.

The car driver fled the spot, leaving the vehicle behind, they said.

“Police teams were dispatched to the spot after the PCR call and the injured persons were taken to a nearby hospital,” he said.

While Ameer and Shoyeb were discharged after treatment, Jagdamba still remains under medical care. His condition is stated to be stable.

The officer said the police have registered a case under Sections 281 (rash driving) and 125(a) (endangering life or personal safety of others) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS).

“We have formed multiple teams to identify the absconding driver. The police have seized the abandoned vehicle and are scanning CCTV footage in the surrounding area to trace the accused,” he added.

Further investigation is on, the police said.
