A 25-year-old motorcyclist was killed after being hit by a speeding scooter in Kharar’s Mander Nagar on Saturday.
Lakhmir Singh of Kharar village told police that he, along with his nephew Amandeep, a daily wager, was returning home on their motorcycle around 7.30 pm.
As they reached Mander Nagar, a rashly driven scooter rammed into their two-wheeler and sped off. Amandeep suffered multiple injuries in the accident. Lakhmir said he rushed his nephew to PGIMER, Chandigarh, where he succumbed to his injuries.
Police said while the accused had yet to be traced, the body was handed over to the family post autopsy on Sunday.
A case under Sections 279 (rash driving) and 304-A (causing death by negligence) of the Indian Penal Code was registered against the absconding scooterist.
