The Story in Brief
A home guard was killed and a constable injured after a speeding Mahindra Thar rammed their police motorcycle on National Highway-9 near Crossings Republik in Ghaziabad late Wednesday night. The police response vehicle was heading to Gaur City-2 when the SUV hit it from behind around 11.15 pm.
Home guard Kapil Kumar, 40, died during treatment. Constable Praveen Kumar, 36, is stable. Police arrested the 34-year-old SUV driver and seized the vehicle, said Priyashri Pal, Assistant Commissioner of Police, Wave City. In a separate accident on the Delhi-Meerut Expressway early Thursday, a Maruti Swift collided with a tanker, killing sub-inspector Upendra Kumar, 59, and injuring five.
The Indian Opinion
Another hit-and-run, another home guard dead on duty. Police routinely blame 'rash driving', yet the Ghaziabad roads remain a free-for-all for SUVs and tankers. The narrative that blames only drunken youth spares the real culprit: near-zero enforcement of lane discipline and speed limits on highways built for speed. Will the authorities now show us the dashcam footage, the breathalyzer result, and the driver's challan history, or will this FIR vanish like the dust on NH-9?
