Woman killed after crane rammed into their scooter
A 28-year-old woman was killed and a man seriously injured after a crane rammed into their scooter and ran them over in east Delhi's Shahdara area on Monday night. The driver was caught on the spot by locals and handed over to the authorities.
The incident took place near the Shyamlal College flyover under the jurisdiction of Shahdara police station when the victims were returning home around 10 pm.
According to police, the crane hit the scooter from behind with force, throwing both riders onto the road. The heavy vehicle then ran over them, leading to critical injuries. The woman, identified as Nisha (28), was declared dead at the hospital, while the injured man, Shabir, is undergoing treatment at Guru Teg Bahadur Hospital.
Nisha, a resident of Nand Nagri, lived with her parents in the B-5 block area and ran a beauty parlour in Ashok Nagar. She had been married for less than five years but was living separately from her husband due to personal differences.
Family members said she had stepped out in the evening with Shabir to buy some items from the market and was on her way back home when the accident took place.
Given that the woman had been married for less than seven years, a probe is also being conducted by the Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM) as per legal procedure.
