A 50-year-old Delhi Police constable died a day after he and a home guard were hit by a speeding car at a police picket here, police said Tuesday.
Constable Ajmer Singh, who received multiple injuries after a vehicle hit him and home guard Krishan Pal, 25, Monday around 1.50 a.m., died from his injuries Tuesday.
Singh and Pal were deployed at the police picket at the Uttar Pradesh-Delhi border in east Delhi's Ghazipur area when a white colour Fortuner vehicle coming from Uttar Pradesh hit them.
Pal was discharged after first aid as he suffered minor injuries in the incident.
"The errant car driver hit Ajmer and Krishan when they signalled it to stop," said a police official, adding the car driver is still on the run.
Singh, a resident of Sonipat in Haryana, was posted at Ghazipur police station and lived in the police barracks while Pal lives in east Delhi's Shahdara area.
