Delhi: Sole breadwinner among 2 killed in bike crash in Bhalswa Dairy

Two 20-year-old men, including the sole breadwinner of his family, were killed after their motorcycle crashed near the Majlis Park Metro station in outernorth Delhi's Bhalswa Dairy area, police said on Monday. The deceased have been identified as Saf Ali from Burari and Shahid from Bawana, they said. Shahid, who worked as a labourer in a factory, is survived by his 50-year-old mother and two married sisters. His father passed away a decade ago. The accident took place at around 9 pm on Sunday. The motorcycle, which belonged to Saf, was found abandoned near a drain along a stretch connecting the Ring Road with Wazirabad, police said. According to preliminary inquiry, the two riders sustained grievous injuries in the accident and were taken to the Babu Jagjivan Ram Memorial Hospital by some passersby, where they were declared dead, a senior police officer said. No eyewitnesses have come forward so far, he added. Rahul, Shahid's family friend, told PTI that police informed them about the accident around 12.30 am on Sunday, while Saf's relatives had been informed earlier. ''We still don't know what exactly happened or how long they had been together,'' he said. Shahid, who earlier lived with his mother in Bawana, had shifted to Sangam Vihar around two months ago to stay with his aunt, Rahul said. ''There had been tension in the area for some time, and his mother did not want her only son to get caught up in it. She sent Shahid away, thinking he would be safer with his aunt in Sangam Vihar,'' he said. ''But little did she know that he would never return. He was the sole earning member of the family,'' Rahul said, his voice breaking. ''Her future is now uncertain as she was completely dependent on Shahid,'' he added. Police have launched a probe after registering a case under the relevant sections of BNS, the officer said.
