Two engineers killed in hit and run accident

NEW DELHI - Two engineers, returning from an exhibition, were killed when an unidentified vehicle rammed into their motorbike in southeast Delhi around midnight Saturday, police said.

Raj Kumar, 25, was going to drop his friend, Vineet, 28, at his residence in Sahibabad of Uttar Pradesh when their motorcycle were hit by an unidentified vehicle in Sunlight Colony around 12.30 a.m.

Police said they were taken to a nearby hospital, where doctors pronounced them dead. Both worked as engineers in a private company and had come to the city to attend an exhibition.

“The accident could have been because of dense fog,” a police officer said, adding that nothing concrete can be said until the hit and run vehicle is identified.

“We have registered a case and are investigating,” the officer said.
