Two Kanwariyas were killed and a third seriously hurt when a speeding car struck their motorcycle on the Delhi-Dehradun National Highway near MIET College in the Jani police station area of Uttar Pradesh early on a Wednesday, NDTV reported, citing police. All three, residents of Shahdara in Delhi, were riding to Haridwar to collect Ganga water when the car hit them.
Gopal, 23, died at the scene, and Anil, 20, died later while being treated in hospital, the third rider, Ganesh, was seriously injured and remained under treatment. Police took the driver into custody, seized the car and began legal proceedings against him, officials said.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Police have already named speeding as the cause and taken the driver into custody, but the account includes nothing from the driver, from witnesses, or from any forensic examination, so the speeding finding stands as the police's own initial account rather than a settled one. The three men's identity as Kanwariyas travelling for the Kanwar Yatra explains why they were on that stretch of highway that morning, it says nothing about how the crash happened.
What happens to the legal proceedings against the driver, now that the vehicle has been seized, is what would confirm the police version.
