The first incident took place around 11.30 am at Moti Nagar, when Satte Singh, 70, and his daughter-in-law Neelam were walking towards their home in Basai Darapur village. As they reached Moti Nagar Chowk in west Delhi, a speeding Blueline bus, (route number 816, between Malka Ganj and Uttam Nagar) hit Singh from the left, eyewitnesses have told the police. He fell on the road and the bus crushed him, eyewitnesses said.

The driver abandoned the bus and fled the spot, the police said.
