Two youths die in motorcycle crash near Majlis Park Metro
Two young men were killed after the motorcycle they were riding crashed near the Majlis Park Metro station in Outer North Delhi’s Bhalswa Dairy area on Sunday night. According to the police, the bike was later found abandoned near a drain, and no eyewitness has yet surfaced to explain how the fatal accident unfolded.
The victims, both in their early twenties, had suffered severe injuries in the crash and were rushed to the hospital by passersby before police reached the spot. Doctors, however, declared both dead on arrival. The accident took place around 9 pm on the stretch connecting Ring Road towards Wazirabad, close to Majlis Park Metro station, an area that sees heavy movement of vehicles even during late evening hours.
Police said information was received about a motorcycle lying damaged near a drain in the Bhalswa Dairy area. A team rushed to the location but found no injured persons there, only the abandoned two-wheeler. By the time officers began checking nearby hospitals, they learnt that two critically injured men had already been shifted by the public to Babu Jagjivan Ram Memorial Hospital.
A senior police officer said both riders had sustained grievous injuries consistent with a high-impact road crash.
“Passersby took the injured to the hospital before the local police team could reach the accident point. Both were declared dead by doctors. We are now trying to reconstruct the sequence of events and ascertain whether it was a self-skid, overspeeding case, or whether another vehicle was involved,” the officer said.
The deceased were identified as Saf Ali, 20, a resident of Burari, and Shahid, a resident of Bawana. Police sources said the two were travelling on the same motorcycle when the accident took place, though investigators are still examining whether they lost control while negotiating the road near the drain or were hit by another moving vehicle that fled the scene.
The absence of eyewitnesses has made the probe difficult.
Neither at the accident site nor at the hospital did police find any direct witness who saw the moment of impact. Officers are now relying on physical evidence from the road, the damaged condition of the motorcycle, and CCTV footage from nearby stretches to understand what happened in the final seconds before the crash. Investigators have also begun scanning cameras installed near the metro station, traffic points and adjoining roads leading towards Wazirabad and Ring Road. The motorcycle has been seized for mechanical inspection.
The bodies of both victims have been preserved at the mortuary of BJRM Hospital for post-mortem examination, which is expected to provide further clues about the nature of injuries and the force of impact. Family members of the deceased have been informed.
The deaths once again underline the recurring danger on poorly lit or fast-moving stretches in outer Delhi, where night crashes often leave investigators with little immediate evidence, and victims are discovered only after local residents or commuters intervene. Police have registered a case under relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and begun further investigation.
