AGRA: A 55-year-old Delhi-based woman and her son were killed while her husband and elder daughter sustained grievous injuries when the car in which they were travelling rammed into a divider near milestone 129 on Yamuna Expressway in Mathura’s Baldeo area late on Monday.
The family was returning home to Delhi’s Indira Vihar after attending their other daughter’s wedding in Agra.
The deceased were identified as Santosh Hans, 57, her son Abhishek, 28, while the injured — Ramesh Hans, 60, and his married daughter Heena Kochar, 26, were admitted to a hospital in Agra in a critical condition.
Ramesh Hans is a businessman and runs a retail garment shop in Sant Nagar, in Delhi’s Burari.
Heena’s husband Varun Kochar told TOI that his sister-in-law Khushboo’s wedding was held at Radisson Hotel in Agra on June 20 and all of them were returning home after the function.
He said, “I left the city with my 6-year-old son two hours before their exit.
When I reached home, I was informed about the accident and rushed to Mathura.” “My father-in-law sustained a hip joint fracture.
Though my wife recognised me, she did not remember anything about the accident.
I am trying to figure out what exactly happened to them,” said Kochar, adding that Khushboo was not informed about the death of her mother and brother as she had just recovered from typhoid.
She was told that they met with an accident and are admitted to a hospital.
Now, she is on her way to Agra from Jaipur.” Baldeo police station in-charge Narendra Yadav said that it seems that the driver fell asleep and lost control of the vehicle.
“After shifting injured persons to the hospital and sending bodies to the postmortem house, we recorded a video of all the jewellery and cash, worth Rs 14 lakh, recovered from the spot.
It has been handed over to the family,” he said.
