NEW DELHI: Three members of a family, including a 10-year-old boy, were killed in a suspected hit-and-run case near the Mukundpur flyover on Delhi’s Outer Ring Road late Sunday night, officials said on Monday.
Police said the victims, identified as Mohammad Shahid (60), his son Mohammad Faiz (25), and Faiz’s 10-year-old nephew, were travelling on a motorcycle from Dwarka to their home in North Delhi, when a speeding car rammed into them from behind.
The impact threw all three onto the road, after which another car allegedly ran over them.
Eyewitnesses and family members claimed that two cars were racing on the stretch when the accident occurred.
“The first car struck the motorcycle, and the second car crushed the victims after they fell, ” a relative said.
Both vehicles fled the scene after the incident, and their whereabouts remain unknown.
The victims died on the spot. Their bodies have been sent for postmortem at Babu Jagjivan Ram Hospital in Jahangirpuri.
