Balrampur, Uttar Pradesh:
Two people on a motorcycle died after being run over by a speeding car on the Hariharhaganj-Lalia road in UP’s Balrampur, police said today.
The incident took place on Tuesday evening when the victims, former village head Kaleem Khan (48) of Ghoomnahava Sarakhava and his relative Moharram Ali (55), were returning home from the court, they said.
Dehat Kotwali police station SHO Kuldeep Tripathi said they were hit from behind by a speeding SUV near Kodari Ghat bridge. The SUV then struck them and fled the scene, he added.
He said police took the injured to a hospital where doctors declared Kaleem Khan brought dead, while Moharram Ali later succumbed to injuries during treatment.
A case was filed against some people of the village on the basis of a complaint by Kaleem Khan’s father, who alleged that a conspiracy had been hatched to kill the duo, Mr Tripathi said.
Superintendent of Police Keshav Kumar said the bodies had been sent for post-mortem examination and the matter was being investigated.
