Jaipur: Two brothers on a motorcycle were killed and three pedestrians were injured when a speeding car rammed into them here on Tuesday, police said. The incident took place at about 4 pm, and was caught on CCTV camera.
The deceased have been identified as Punit Sharma (30) and Vivek Sharma (28). The accident took place near the JDA circle crossing on JLN Road, police said. Another woman, who was selling toys near the site of the accident, is one among those who have been injured.
