A speeding SUV claimed the life of a 35-year-old motorcyclist on the highway near Bander Ghati in Panchkula on Thursday night.
The accident victim, Naeem, was a painter by profession. He lived in Moginand village with his wife and eight children, including four girls and four boys.
In his complaint to the police, Naeem’s nephew Navi Rasool, who also lives in Moginand village, said he was returning home from Mohali on Thursday night. As he reached the national highway near Bander Ghati, he saw a speeding Toyota Fortuner hit a motorcyclist and drag him for a distance, before finally coming to a halt on bursting a tyre.
