The incident took place when one Ravindra, a resident of Sadar Bazar, Delhi and his brother-in-law Amit were heading towards Haridwar on their motorcycle to bring holy water of the Ganga.
Traffic had been diverted on a single road and a speeding SUV coming from the opposite side collided head-on against the motorcycle last night at around 2:30am near Mahendra Puri Gate, Modinagar SHO Deepak Sharma said.
Police rushed them to nearby private hospital where Ravindra was declared brought dead by attending doctors.
The body of Ravindra had been sent for postmortem, police said, adding, the brother of the deceased, Arun has filed a complaint.
An FIR has been registered under section 304A of the IPC against the SUV driver, identified as Sushil, a native of Sikandar Pur village under jurisdiction of the Kotwali Dehat in Bijnaur.
Sushil has been arrested and the vehicle has been impounded, the SHO added.
