Thar mows down biker in Delhi, second killing in August by SUV

A 40-year-old man was killed after an SUV hit his motorcycle in west Delhi's Moti Nagar area, police said on Saturday.

According to police, the accident was reported on the intervening night of August 15-16.

The motorist identified as Bechu Lal died on the spot, an official said.

"The driver of the Thar fled immediately after the incident. Legal action is being taken, and multiple teams have been formed to apprehend him,” he said.

Officials said a case has been registered at Moti Nagar police station, and CCTV footage would be examined to establish the sequence of events and identify the accused.

This is the second incident involving the SUV this month as earlier a pedestrian was killed and another was grievously injured after a Thar mowed them down near the 11 Murti landmark in the Chanakyapuri area in the national capital.
