Biker Falls Into Unmarked Pit, Dies in Delhi
6 Feb
Summary
- HDFC Bank employee Kamal Jain died after falling into an unmarked pit.
- His family faced alleged police refusal to file a missing person complaint.
- The Delhi Jal Board has launched a high-level inquiry into the incident.
A 25-year-old HDFC Bank employee, Kamal Jain, lost his life after his motorcycle plunged into an unmarked pit in Delhi's Janakpuri on February 6, 2026. Kamal had informed his twin brother that he would be home within minutes, but he went missing shortly thereafter. His family's attempts to file a missing person report with the police were allegedly met with resistance, as they were told to wait 24 hours.
Despite facing difficulties with the police, Kamal's family and friends initiated their own search. Their efforts ultimately led to the discovery of his body at the bottom of a pit dug by the Delhi Jal Board for pipeline rehabilitation works. The accident site was reportedly secured with barricades and green mesh.
In response to the incident, the Delhi Jal Board has formed a high-level inquiry committee. This committee is tasked with thoroughly investigating the circumstances surrounding Kamal's death, reviewing safety arrangements, and ensuring compliance with public safety norms. Strict action will be taken against any Delhi Jal Board official found negligent.
