An 18-year-old girl and a man were killed in an accident on Thursday in Delhi's Govindpuri area when an MCD truck ran over their moving motorcycle, the police said. The victims have been identified as Javed Khan, 32, the motorcycle rider, and Mayra, an 18-year-old student.
Khan was reportedly on his way to drop Mayra off at her school after her father requested that he help her due to her being late.
The truck driver and his helper have been arrested, and the vehicle has been seized as part of the ongoing investigation into the incident.
"A PCR call was received at Govindpuri Police Station that an MCD truck ran over a motorcycle, killing two people on the spot near Tughlakabad Extension. A team was immediately sent to the spot," said a senior police officer.
Some of the eyewitnesses said the impact was so severe that both died on the spot.
Following the incident, the police apprehended the truck driver identified as Jugal Rai, a resident of Okhla, and his assistant Rishi Kumar.
The police shifted both the bodies for post-mortem examination. The motorcycle has also been taken into police custody.
The family members of the victims held a protest after the accident and demanded strict action against the accused.
