NEW DELHI: A 25-year-old man died in west Delhi’s Janakpuri area after his motorcycle fell into an uncovered pit dug for construction work, police said on Friday. The victim’s family alleged that they were left in the dark for several hours and spent the entire night visiting multiple police stations before being informed of his death the next morning.The victim was returning home from office. The man allegedly went missing late at night after leaving home on his motorcycle. When he failed to return and his phone became unreachable, relatives began searching for him and approached several police stations in west Delhi. They claimed that despite repeated visits to nearly a dozen police stations, they received no concrete information about his whereabouts. At around 7am, the police called the family and informed them that his body had been found. Preliminary reports indicated that construction work was underway at the accident site, during which a pit had been dug on the road. The biker is believed to have lost control of his motorcycle and fallen into the pit at Joginder Singh Marg, near Green Valley Apartments, leading to fatal injuries. The area reportedly lacked adequate barricading or warning signage at the time of the incident. The victim’s family accused the concerned departments of negligence and demanded strict action against those responsible for failing to ensure road safety.
