The Gurugram police have arrested the car driver, who was booked for killing a woman motorcycle rider, Somita Singh (28), in an accident at Leopard Trail road in Pandala here.

The victim had died after her motorcycle collided with a car on Sunday. The deceased worked as a software developer at a Noida-based firm and had come for a ride with a women’s group of motorcyclists from Noida to Gurugram.

Her father, in his complaint, alleged that Somita died after falling off the two-wheeler. He said necessary action should be taken against the motorcycle rider group firm and its operator. On his complaint, a case was registered at the Badshahpur police station. The police had impounded the car on Monday.

“We have arrested the car driver, Jai Yadav (34). We are questioning him,” said a police spokesperson.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
