Kota (Rajasthan), May 21 (PTI) A newlywed couple and their minor nephew were killed after their motorcycle was hit by a vehicle on a highway in Jhalawar here, the police said Wednesday.
The victims were identified as Dhanraj Bheel (24), his wife Khushboo (22) and their nephew Sumit (13), who were residents of Sarthal police station in Jhalawar.
