Harnek Singh was on his way back home when the car hit and drove away.
A 44-year-old motorcyclist was killed after an unidentified car hit him and drove off at Manana village in Balongi on Monday night.
The deceased was identified as Harnek Singh of Manana village, Balongi.
Police said Harnek, along with his son, Jaswinder Singh, was going to Kharar on separate motorcycles on Monday night.
In his complaint, Jaswinder told the police that when they reached near Guru Asra Trust in Manana village, a speeding car coming from Chandigarh hit his father’s motorcycle and sped away.

However, he succumbed to his injuries during treatment on Tuesday.
Acting on Jaswinder’s complaint, police have registered case under Sections 337 (causing hurt by act endangering life or personal safety of others), 279 (rash driving or riding on a public way), 304A (causing death by negligence) of the Indian Penal Code at the Balongi police station. The body was handed over to the family after post-mortem examination.
