Family of 4 falls of faulty flyover, killed

A family of four was killed when the father's motorcycle fell off the Palam-Dwarka flyover in southwest Delhi on Wednesday afternoon.

Twenty-seven-year-old carpenter Deepak Kumar, his wife Renu and their children Rishabh (5) and Veeru (3) - fell on a concrete slab below. The motorcycle got entangled into the railing.

Metro Mishap
