According to the complaint filed by Sanjay Nehra, a resident of Bhudka village, his parents Mansingh (62) and Shakuntala Devi (61) had returned from Panchkula and he had come to the Sidhrawali bus stand to pick them up.
“When I reached the stand on my scooter around 8.30 pm, my parents were waiting for me on the roadside. Meanwhile, a light blue Nexon car, coming at high speed from Gurugram side, suddenly lost control and hit them hard. The impact was so powerful that both were thrown several feet and thrown away. I rushed my parents to a hospital in Bhiwadi in critical condition where doctors declared them dead”, as Nehra said in his complaint.
“An FIR has been registered today and we are searching for the accused driver. We have handed over the bodies to kin after the postmortem”, said a senior police officer.
