A 40-year-old man was killed on Friday morning after a speeding DTC bus hit him near the Dhaula Kuan Metro station in southwest Delhi, police said.
The driver of the DTC bus fled the spot along with the vehicle after the incident, in which a biker suffered minor injuries, they said.
According to a police statement, Vijay Singh, a resident of Uttar Pradesh’s Unnao, was killed after he was hit by the bus as he was attempting to cross the road near an exit gate of the Dhaula Kuan Metro station.
“An orange DTC bus struck Singh with considerable force. He died on the spot. A motorcyclist also suffered minor injuries after losing balance due to the collision,” the statement said.

Investigators are scanning CCTV camera footage from the nearby traffic intersections, Metro exit points and roadside establishments to identify the offending bus and trace its driver, a police officer said.
The accident led to a brief traffic congestion on the busy Dhaula Kuan carriageway before normal movement was restored, police said.
