A 33-year-old bus driver has arrested Wednesday in connection with an accident in Shahdara two days ago in which two Delhi Transport Corporation employees were killed, police said.

The accused, Nooruddin, a resident of UP's Aligarh, was arrested around 12.30 pm in Khoda village near the Delhi-UP border, they said.

Deputy Commissioner of Police (Shahdara) Meghna Yadav said the incident took place on Monday when a speeding private bus driven by the accused hit a school bus stationed at a red light, which, due to the impact, collided with a UP Roadways bus. The Roadways bus then hit a cluster bus.

A motorcycle and two auto-rickshaws had got trapped in between vehicles as a result of the accident. DTC employees — Satish Kumar (50) and Rupender Kumar (38) — were on the motorcycle and were killed in the accident. Four others sustained injuries, police said.
