New Delhi:
In a late-night accident, two cousins were burnt to death after their Fortuner SUV collided with a truck and caught fire in outer Delhi’s Rani Bagh area in the early hours of Thursday. The incident took place around 3 am when the Fortuner, carrying the victims, rammed into a truck moving ahead of it.
According to Delhi Police sources, the impact was so severe that the SUV’s bonnet got lodged under the truck and was dragged for nearly 400-500 metres before it burst into flames.
Both its occupants—Henry (20), a resident of Meera Bagh, and Dipanshu Chandela (21) from Paschim Vihar—were burnt inside the vehicle. Their bodies have been identified by their families.
Speaking to NDTV, one of their family members said the two victims were cousins and had left home around 2:30 am to have dinner at Murthal.
