GURGAON: An assistant sub-inspector with Delhi Police was killed in a hit-&-run accident on the Delhi-Gurgaon expressway on Friday morning.
Naresh Kumar (50), who was attached to the Kapashera police station, was returning home after finishing his night shift when an unknown vehicle crashed into his bike from behind. The accident took place between Rajiv Chowk and Hero Honda Chowk around 9am.
"My father is an assistant sub-inspector at Kapashera police station. On Friday, he was returning home at Saraswati Enclave on his Discover motorcycle after finishing his duty when the accident took place," said Rakesh Yadav, a government school teacher in Delhi.
Rakesh, who lodged a complaint at Sadar police station, said he got a call a little after 9am, informing him about the accident.
