A Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) constable, his wife and a child died in a road accident in the Kalindi Kunj area on Tuesday, while the couple's two other children survived.

A dumper hit their motorcycle from behind. Eyewitnesses said the two boys fell on the right side of the bike and survived. The other three fell on the left side and were crushed under the wheels of the dumper.

"I was on my bike just behind them. Rajkumar and his daughter died on the spot. His wife seemed to be alive for a bit but then died within minutes. Their bodies were completely crushed. It was very disturbing. The two boys had injuries on their heads and limbs. I then called the police and the ambulance,"said Dharmendra, an eyewitness.

Rajkumar was posted at the old JNU campus and lived in a government-allotted flat in the Pushp Vihar area.
