Mirzapur (UP), Jul 15 (PTI) Two men were killed and a woman seriously injured on Wednesday after the motorcycle they were travelling on rammed into a divider on the Varanasi-Rewa National Highway near a village under the Lalganj police station area, police said.
Sushil Saket, 30, and Sanjay Chaturvedi, 31, both residents of Madhya Pradesh’s Mauganj district, along with Rupali, 28, a resident of Indore, were returning after offering prayers in Varanasi when the motorcycle lost control and crashed into the divider, Station House Officer Ved Prakash Pandey said.
