She worked as a nurse at a private hospital in Delta-2, Greater Noida, and her marriage was due to be held this November, the family said.

According to Sumit Shukla, assistant commissioner of police-3 (ACP), Central Noida, the deceased identified as Nidhi Singh, a native of Rabupura village of the district, was residing at a rented accommodation in Delta-2.

“Around 8pm on Sunday evening, police emergency helpline Dial112 received a call from a bystander that a woman was found injured on the service lane in Delta-2. Police teams were rushed to the spot and the woman was taken to a nearby hospital where she died during treatment,” said the officer, adding that her family members were also intimated about the incident.

On Monday, the woman’s elder brother Rajender Singh lodged a complaint at the Surajpur police station alleging foul play.

“The service lane where the accident happened is closed to vehicles. Hence, if my sister was hit by a vehicle on this road, then it was deliberately done. Police should investigate the matter,” said Singh.

Manoj Singh, Surajpur police station in-charge, said a first information report (FIR) will be registered after the post-mortem examination is conducted.
