Gurugram : Two engineers died in separate road accidents near Sikanderpur Metro station and IFFCO Chowk in Gurugram in the intervening night of Friday and Saturday, police said.
In the first incident, a 29-year-old engineer died after his car crashed into a crane stationed near Sikanderpur Metro station on the IFFCO Chowk-Mehrauli road stretch around 1.05am, police said. The victim, Abhishek Kumar, worked as an engineer at a multinational firm in DLF Phase-3 and lived in rented accommodation in the area. He was from Bihar’s Sitamarhi.
According to a complaint filed by the victim’s father, the crane had been stationed on the road for installation of surveillance cameras but allegedly lacked parking lights, indicators, reflective cones and cautionary signage. Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority spokesperson Neha Sharma told HT CCTV installation work was being carried out by a private firm under an MoU with GMDA and the police. “GMDA is not involved at this stage of the project. Police are investigating it,” she said.
In the second incident, a 30-year-old software engineer from Delhi died after his speeding car jumped the divider, crashed into a stationary autorickshaw and caught fire on the Delhi-Gurugram Expressway near IFFCO Chowk around 12.30am, police said.
The victim, identified as Devanshu, worked with a multinational company in Gurugram and was returning home from work when the accident occurred. Police said further investigation was underway in both cases.
