On Sunday, September 15, a 23-year-old motorcyclist, Akshat Garg, was killed in Gurgaon after being hit by a car driving in the wrong direction on Golf Course Road near Belvedere Park. The crash occurred around 5:45 am while Garg was riding with safety gear. His friend Pradyuman Kumar, following him on another bike, witnessed the accident.
