India, Feb. 6 -- A 25-year-old biker allegedly died after falling into an open pit in Delhi's Janakpuri area on Thursday night while returning home, but his family claims they were left searching in the dark for hours, shuttling between six police stations before learning of his death the next morning.

The deceased has been identified as Kamal Dhyani, police said.

His brother alleged that the family received no help despite repeated visits to police stations and learnt about the tragedy only when an official answered Dhyani's phone and informed them that his body had been recovered, according to news agency ANI.
