Ludhiana, Sept. 3 -- Traffic on the Ludhiana-Delhi national highway near Dhandari flyover came to a standstill for nearly half an hour on Tuesday morning as relatives of a factory worker, who was killed in a road accident on Saturday, staged a protest demanding the arrest of the truck driver involved in the tragedy. After the protest, the police arrested the truck driver.

The deceased, Rakesh Kumar Singh of New Ambedkar Nagar, Giaspura, was returning home from work with his friend Vaij Nath when a "speeding" truck-trailer rammed into their motorcycle near Dhandari flyover. The collision left both men severely injured. While Vaij Nath survived with a fractured foot, Rakesh succumbed to his injuries in a hospital.
