According to the police, the incident occurred around 11.30 pm when both officers were returning home in Sonipat in a private car.
“The police officers were unable to see the truck parked on the roadside due to fog and rammed their vehicle into it. The deceased have been identified as Inspector Dinesh Beniwal, who was posted as northwest district Special Staff, and ATO Inspector Ranveer, who was posted at the Adarsh Nagar Police station,” a senior Delhi Police officer said.
Their bodies have been sent for postmortem. “Once the autopsy is done, the bodies will be handed over to their families for last rites,” he added.
