In yet another incident, a man was killed and another person wounded on Sunday morning after a speeding SUV rammed into a pavement and hit them near the Gyarah Murti landmark in Chanakyapuri area of Delhi. According to the police, the incident took place when a white Thar coming from the direction of central Delhi swerved towards the pavement and struck the two men. The two victims were rushed to the AIIMS Trauma Centre, where one was declared brought dead while the other is undergoing medical treatment. Both men were walking along the pavement when the SUV suddenly swerved towards them, climbed onto the pedestrian path and hit them. The incident was captured on camera. The vehicle, which has a Uttar Pradesh registration number, was seized and the SUV driver was apprehended. The accused has been identified as Ashish, a resident of Shakarpur in east Delhi. He was returning home from Dhaula Kuan when the accident took place. According to the preliminary probe, Ashish was driving his friend's Thar at the time of the accident. The SUV is registered in the name of Ankit, a resident of Ghaziabad district, Uttar Pradesh. A police patrolling party was in the vicinity and witnessed the accident around 6.30 AM, reported news agency PTI citing a senior police officer.

Four injured as blast derails train in Pakistan's Balochistan
Peshawar, Aug 10 (PTI) Four people were injured on Sunday when an improvised explosive device (IED) derailed five coaches of the Peshawar-bound Jafar Express in Pakistan's southwestern Balochistan province, officials said. This incident marks the latest in a series of attacks targeting the Jafar Express. The blast struck the track near Spezand Railway Station, about 25 km from Quetta, shortly after the train had departed the city at 9 am, a Pakistan Railways official said. Rescue teams, including railway staff, were dispatched to the site, and a relief train was sent to transport stranded passengers to Quetta. Security forces and police cordoned off the area, while a bomb disposal squad was deployed to clear the track. All injured passengers sustained minor wounds, officials said. The Jafar Express, which runs between Quetta and Peshawar, has been repeatedly targeted in recent months. On August 7, an explosion occurred near Sibi railway station after the train had passed. In another incident, on August 4, gunmen fired five bullets at its pilot engine near Kolpur. The separatist Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) claimed responsibility for the latter attack. On March 11, an assault on the train killed 21 passengers and four security personnel, while a blast in Jacobabad in June derailed four carriages without casualties.
