New Delhi: A 19-year-old girl from Dadri district of Greater Noida, who was pursuing her higher studies from Babson College in Massachusetts, US, was killed in a road accident in Uttar Pradesh’s Bulandshahr. The deceased, Sudiksha Bhati, was in India for vacations and was supposed to return to the US on August 20.

Her family members alleged that she was with her uncle on a scooty from Dadri, when two men on a motorcycle started following them. “The men were passing comments on Sudiksha and were trying to overtake her vehicle performing stunts to impress her. Suddenly, their Bullet hit Sudeeksha’s scooty and she lost balance. Sudiksha died on the spot,” said Satyendra Bhati, the uncle.
