Delhi: Thar mows down biker, second killing in August by the 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 them, the Mahindra Thar rammed Bhikshu Lal’s two-wheeler late on Friday night, killing the biker on the spot.

“The driver of the Thar fled immediately after the incident. Legal action is being taken, and multiple teams have been formed to apprehend him,” a senior police officer said.

Police 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.

The body of the deceased has been taken to a hospital for post-mortem, and his family members have been informed, officials added.

Earlier this month, 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.

Delhi: Citizenship joy turns bittersweet for Pakistani Hindu refugees who mark I-Day amid uncertainty

Delhi: Almost 250 of the 1,000 residents of the Pakistani Hindu refugee camp at Majnu Ka Tilla marked this Independence Day with particular anticipation. In 2024, they were granted Indian citizenship, while the rest of the community still waited for their applications to be processed.

For those who received their papers, the occasion was joyous but tinged with anxiety. “It was beautiful to experience the day of our freedom for the first time here. It was surreal, to say the least,” said Gomti, a resident. She added, however, that a lingering sense of alienation remains. “We have still not been accepted as residents of the country. Even the Delhi Development Authority officials have sent us a notice to vacate the place. We do not have anywhere to go.”
