Student dies in road accident

A 20-year-old meritorious student died in a road accident on Monday in Aurangabad area of Bulandshahr. While the girl’s family members alleged that it was a case of harassment that led to the accident, Bulandshahr police said there was no proof of it yet.

Sudiksha Bhati had earned a scholarship and was studying at a prestigious U.S. university. She returned to her home town Dadri in Gautam Buddh Nagar before the lockdown and on Monday was going to meet her maternal uncle in Madhogarh village in Jhangirabad area of Bulandshahr when the incident happened.

On Tuesday evening, the girl’s father Jitendra Bhati lodged a complaint in the Aurangabad police station wherein no direct mention of harassment was made. He said his daughter went to meet her maternal uncle on a bike with her uncle Satendra and a cousin on Monday. At around 9.30 a.m., two men riding a bike indiscriminately overtook them and deliberately applied the brakes in front of their motorcycle.
