Authorities say that on Sunday at 6 p.m., two Noida residents, Rohit Vespya (49) and Gurkeerat Singh (26), attempted to drive through a traffic light close to the Sector 16 metro station. Then they pulled into the center of the road and stopped their car.

At the location, Traffic Sub-Inspector (SI) Jay Prakash was assigned. He went up to the automobile and motioned for the driver to pull over to the side.
