A 20-year-old man and his 14-year-old cousin were killed after their motorcycle was hit by a truck on Ashoka Road in New Delhi on Monday night.

The victims, residents of Ashok Nagar in West Delhi, had attended an IPL match at Arun Jaitley Stadium and were returning home when a truck rammed their Royal Enfield Bullet.

The family alleged negligence, claiming police reached the spot nearly 30 minutes later and only then took the injured cousins to hospital.

Police refuted the allegations, saying the PCR call was received around 11pm and officers reached the spot within minutes, taking the injured to hospital promptly.

The truck has been seized from east Delhi and its owner is being questioned.

The 20-year-old was a BSc student at a Delhi University-affiliated college, while his minor cousin was a Class 10 student at a school in Punjabi Bagh.

The family runs a dry fruits wholesale business supplying to major food chains in and around Delhi.

The family said the 20-year-old had played in several city-level cricket tournaments and was a net bowler for a Delhi Capitals player.
