The deceased has been identified as Faizal while his friend has been identified as Vimal (25).
The incident took place around 12:30 am last night when the duo was riding the two-wheeler near Gurdwara Sheesh Ganj. They were going toward the Chandni Chowk metro to meet friends.
"As they tried to take a U-turn toward the metro station, they hit an auto-rickshaw coming from the opposite side. The impact was such that both of them were thrown in the air. While Faizal's head smashed onto the divider, Vimal was thrown on the road," said a police official.
Police said the two were not wearing helmet at the time of the incident.
