Three people, all in their 20s, were killed in separate accidents in Hebbal early on Sunday.

In one case, Kiran, 23, and his cousin Yatish, 23, who were software engineers, were victims of a hit-and-run, according to the police.

They lived in Amruthalli and worked for an IT firm from home. A probe revealed that Kiran had bought a new bike and the duo decided to go for a ride at around 1.30 a.m. on Sunday.

While they were on Byatarayanapura service road, a car coming from Kodigehalli junction knocked their bike down. They fell and sustained severe injuries. Passers-by took them to a hospital in the area where they were declared as brought dead.

The car driver sped away and the Hebbal Traffic Police have taken up a case of hit-and-run. “Yatish hailed from Holalkere in Chitradurga and lived with his cousin in Amruthalli,” said a police officer. Efforts are on to track down the driver.
