On Monday, a devastating accident took place in East Delhi's Shakarpur area, where a DTC bus collided with an autorickshaw, resulting in the death of the 63-year-old autorickshaw driver.

The deceased, identified as Mohammad Heen, a resident of Shaheed Nagar in Ghaziabad, was pronounced dead on arrival at Hedgewar Hospital. The bus driver, Narender, a 27-year-old resident of Sector-63 in Noida, claimed that he was experiencing an epileptic seizure at the time of the accident.
