Yet another hit-and-run case has surfaced from Noida, in which a two-wheeler rider has lost his life.
The deceased, identified as Kaushal Yadav, a resident of Etawah in Uttar Pradesh, was killed on January 1, the same day Anjali Singh, a 20-year-old Delhi woman, died after she was hit by a car and then dragged for 12kms on the road in Kanjhawala.

Who answered Yadav’s phone?
According to the police, Yadav, a delivery agent for online food delivery platform Swiggy, was killed in the early hours of January 1 at around 1 am, near the flyover at Sector 14-A in Noida.
It is still unclear how Yadav met with the fatal accident.
His family learned about the accident after Yadav’s cousin Amit Kumar called him around the same time the mishap occurred.

The phone was, however, answered by an Ola cab driver who informed Amit that Yadav was hit by a car that dragged him for around one km towards the road leading to Shani Mandir and then sped off.
Immediately, Amit and others rushed to the spot and took Yadav to the hospital. However, he had by then succumbed to his injuries.
