4 Kanwariya pilgrims die in separate road accidents in UP's Ghaziabad
While three pilgrims, in the first incident, died on the spot, the victim in the second incident succumbed to his injuries during treatment.
Four Kanwariya pilgrims died Tuesday in two separate road accidents in Uttar Pradesh's Ghaziabad. One of the incidents happened near Wave City Gate on NH-9, when three persons on a speeding motorcycle rammed into a divider in the Mussoorie police station area.
"Three Kanwariyas, namely Rahul (26), Jamshed (23) and Prince (24) lost their lives when their speeding motorcycle rammed into a divider near Wave City Gate on NH-9 in the Mussoorie police station area around 2 am," said Additional Superintendent of Police (Rural), Iraj Raja, as quoted by news agency PTI.
The second incident took place near Bamheta culvert located under the Kavi Nagar police station area around 6am. The victim -- 20-year-old Ajit -- met the same fate when his two-wheeler dashed into a divider.
Ajit was going to Delhi from Haridwar, the ASP told PTI. He was immediately admitted to a nearby hospital where he succumbed to his injuries.
He added that all the bodies have been sent for autopsy tests and their families have been informed. Police said further action is underway.
