In a tragic incident in the outskirts of Delhi, a driver is said to have hit and killed a motorcycle-riding police officer early Sunday morning. The incident took place around 2.15 am when the police officer, identified as 30-year-old Sandeep, was on duty and noticed the vehicle being driven recklessly.

As the driver reprimanded the driver, the car accelerated and crashed into Sandeep’s motorcycle, dragging him for about 10 meters. The vehicle came to a stop after hitting another car.
