A speeding car snuffed out a 53-year-old milkman’s life at Ramgarh village in Panchkula on Thursday.
The deceased, identified as Rajpal, lived in Bunga village, Panchkula.
His nephew Jaswinder Singh told police that they were travelling to Panchkula on their respective motorcycles for some work on Thursday. Around 9.30 pm, as they reached Ramgarh village after crossing the bridge on the main highway, a speeding Maruti Suzuki Zen hit Rajpal’s motorcycle.
The collision caused Rajpal to fall on the road and lose consciousness. Jaswinder said the car, bearing a Haryana registration number, stopped at distance, but on seeing people gather, sped away.
A grievously injured Jaswinder was rushed to civil hospital, Sector 6, in a private vehicle, but he was declared dead.
A case under Sections 279 and 304-A of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) was registered at the Chandimandir police station.
