An 11-year-old boy was killed after he was hit by a speeding autorickshaw in east Delhi's Khajuri Khas area, police said today.
According to the police, the boy, Mohd Sami, was playing along with his friends in the streets of the locality on Friday evening when the autorickshaw hit him from behind.
While the boy's friends rushed to his house to inform his family about the accident, the autorickshaw driver took Sami and one of his friends to a nearby hospital and left them at the premises before fleeing from the spot.
Seeing the boy's condition, some people carried the boy to the hospital's emergency ward.
"The boy was shifted to GTB Hospital due to seriousness of the injuries sustained in the accident but he died during the treatment," a police official said.
A case of negligent driving and causing death by negligence has been lodged and efforts are on to identify and nab the driver, he added.
