Police constable among two mowed down by DTC bus

Two persons, including a police constable, were mowed down by a Delhi Transport Corporation (DTC) bus on Ring Road near Monastery Market in the Civil Lines area, an officer said on Tuesday.

The police said the incident happened on Monday night when the driver lost control of the vehicle due to technical issues, which caused the bus to climb over a pavement, collide with a billboard, and hit the two persons before crashing into a road divider.

There were no passengers on board at the time of the accident.

Deputy Commissioner of Police (North) Raja Banthia said the deceased constable was identified as Victor, 27, a resident of Nagaland.
