“On Saturday around 7.15pm, after completing his shift, Lodhi was heading home, when near Achher T-point, a speeding Scorpio SUV, with a UP registration number plate, hit him.The driver did not stop on collision, and the vehicle continued to go for several metres with Lodhi lying on the windshield before he dropped to the ground. The vehicle sped away and my brother’s colleagues, who were walking a few feet behind him, rushed him to the hospital. They then informed me about the incident and I too reached the hospital,” Raj said.
Lodhi was declared dead on arrival by the hospital authorities, Raj said.
“An eyewitness told me that the Scorpio was being driven at a high speed. It hit my brother and he was flung into the air and landed on the windshield. Still the driver kept going and after another 40-50 metres, Lodhi fell to the ground and the driver sped away. I have filed a complaint with the Beta-2 police on Sunday and want the suspect arrested,” said Raj, who works at a factory in Bulandshahr.

Later, the suspect applied for bail through his lawyer,” said Vinod Mishra, station house officer of Beta -2 police station.
