The accused driver was caught by bystanders and handed over to police. The deceased were identified as Rohit Kumar, 26, and Abhishek Kumar, 27. They were heading towards Old Railway Road around 1 am when the car rammed into their motorcycle. Both were declared brought dead at a private hospital. Rohit worked as a data entry operator at the ED zonal office for two years, while Abhishek worked with a property dealer. The accused driver, Priyanshu Gupta, a resident of Adarsh Nagar, has been arrested. An FIR has been registered at Sector 14 police station and a probe is underway. ## Indian Opinion Analysis Gurugram has seen a spate of fatal road accidents, with another incident this week where a three-year-old girl died after an SUV reversed into her. The ED employee's death highlights the vulnerability of two-wheeler riders on Gurugram's poorly lit roads, especially late at night. The accused driver has been arrested, and the next step will be filing a chargesheet in court. Watch for whether the police add charges beyond Sections 106 and 281 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, such as culpable homicide not amounting to murder, depending on the investigation. ## Coverage - hindustantimes.com Straightforward reporting of two fatal accidents with police statements, no editorialising.
