A man was killed and three persons injured in separate accidents in the Capital on Thursday.

A safety manager with the company constructing the Delhi-Meerut Expressway on NH-24 was killed and two others injured in Pandav Nagar in the early hours of Thursday.

Jasbeer Singh and two others were diverting traffic away from the construction site at the time of the incident. They were hit by a speeding SUV after it rammed a barricade.

The SUV dragged them along after hitting them. The driver then reversed and sped away. The victims were rushed to a hospital, where Mr. Singh died during treatment. The other victims are in the ICU.

Bloodstained tyres

The second incident was reported in the evening when a railway employee was hit by a car near New Delhi railway station. Pankaj Kumar (30) is battling for life. The police said the driver was caught by locals after he stopped to change the bloodstained tyres in an empty lane near Chelmsford Road.
