Two children were crushed to death when a DCM van knocked them off the motorcycle they were travelling on and ran over them at Uppal on Monday.
According to reports coming in, Srinikita and her sister Akhila were students of the 6th and 3rd standard of
Kendriya Vidyalaya, Uppal. They were on their way back home on the motorcycle driven by their father.
The speeding DCM van dashed against the motorcycle, knocking the 2 girls under its wheel, while their father was thrown aside.
Srinikita was killed on the spot, while Akhila and her father were rushed to hospital. Akhila died while undergoing treatment. Their father is reported to be in a serious condition.
The van driver was nabbed by passersby and soundly thrashed before being handed over to the police. The angry mob also set the DCM van on fire.
Residents of the area say that despite repeated complaints, there are no police personnel to man the traffic on the busy road.
