New Delhi, March 9 The brother of one of the two men killed in a DTC bus accident in west Delhi alleged that the driver's reckless driving, while racing against another bus to overtake it, led to the tragedy, as he mourned the death of the 39-year-old, the sole caretaker of their elderly parents.
Two men — Ravikant (33) and Kamaljeet (39) — were killed and a woman was injured after a speeding DTC bus collided with multiple vehicles on the busy Najafgarh-Nangloi Road in Nihal Vihar on Monday morning, police said, adding that the driver has been apprehended.
The accident later triggered protests, during which an angry mob vandalized the bus involved in the accident and set another DTC bus on fire.
Kamaljeet, who worked as a salesman, was on his way to work in Khari Baoli from his home in Nangloi when the bus collided with his motorcycle, after which he was run over by the bus. He died on the spot after his chest was crushed by the impact.
His elder brother Manish said the family is struggling to come to terms with the sudden loss. "He was recently divorced and lived with our parents, who are around 60 years old, in Nangloi. He used to take care of them. On Monday morning, he left home for work like any other day, but he never returned," Manish told
