Two men were arrested for hitting a 32-year-old traffic police constable on duty on the Delhi-Meerut Expressway on Friday evening, police said adding the police officer later dying during treatment late Saturday.
Video of the incident that spread on social media shows the speeding car colliding with constable Vipin Kumar Singh at the exit point of the expressway where vehicles shift to National Highway 9. The impact launched Singh into the air and dragged him for around 30 to 40 metres.
