New Delhi, April 2

A 15-year-old boy was killed and his friend injured after their scooter collided head-on with a crane northwest of Delhi’s Keshavpuram area, the police said on Sunday.

The accident took place near a restaurant on the carriageway towards Inderlok at midnight, they said.

According to the police, Arib and his friend Irfan (18) had gone out for a joyride post dinner on a scooter but they met with an accident.

The crane was heading back after completing its work assigned by an agency, they said.

The crane driver fled the spot, leaving the two boys injured on the road, a senior police officer said.

They were taken to a nearby hospital, where Arib was declared dead while Irfan is under treatment, he said.

A case has been registered under Sections 279, 337 and 304-A of the Indian Penal Code, the police said.

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).
