The hearth activated the car's central-locking system, trapping the occupants within, police added. "The entire car was burnt. We could barely identify the dead. The car has been seized and will be sent to the forensic lab. Its manufacturer may also be asked to help us in the probe," mentioned an officer.
The driving force was once identified as Manpreet, resident of Sheetla Mata Colony right here, however the identity of the passenger is yet to be established.
Cops brought out the two males from the car and took them to Civil Hospital, the place they have been declared brought lifeless with over 95% burns.
Manpreet was once partnering an app-based cab aggregator, and used to paintings mostly in the night. "The cab was registered in his brother's name. He used to operate mostly at night," mentioned a relative. Other members of the family weren't willing to speak.
It seems that the passenger, who was once sitting in the again seat, had hiked a journey few kilometres from the coincidence site. There was once no trace of a journey being booked previous to the coincidence. The passenger, who was once working with some personal company in Gurugram, is almost definitely from Jharkhand, but his identity is yet to be established.
