How did the accident happen?
Kamal was riding his Apache RTR 200 bike from his office in Rohini to his residence in Kailashpuri. Near the Janakpuri District Centre, ongoing work by the Delhi Jal Board had left a large pit open on the road. The victim reportedly fell into this pit during the night. His family members searched for him at various police stations including Janakpuri and Sagarpur throughout the night when he did not return home.

The police recovered the body around 7 AM on Friday and sent it for postmortem.
