Blueline menace continues, 1 killed in outer Delhi
The bus, plying on Route No. 182-A between Sukhveer Nagar and Kashmiri Gate, knocked down two bicycle-riders at Avantika Chowk at around 9.30 pm.
The deceased was identified as Ram Kumar, 32. The injured, whose identity was not known yet, was admitted to the nearby Sanjay Gandhi Hospital, where his condition was stated to be critical.
After the accident an infuriated mob torched the bus, gutting it down completely. Police had to resort to mild baton charge to disperse the mob.
“The situation in the area is still tense and we are trying to control the mob. Extra police personnel have also been deployed,” a senior police official told IANS.
According to police, the driver of the bus fled after the accident, but the killer bus was impounded.
