A man riding a cycle died in north Delhi's Khyber Pass area after a branch of a tree fell on him on Sunday, officials said.
Immediately after the incident, Anees was taken to a nearby hospital where doctors declared him dead, they said.
A senior police officer said, "A PCR call about the death of a man after a branch of a tree fell on him was received at the Civil Lines police station around 9.30 pm." Inquiry into the incident revealed that Anees, a resident of Aruna Nagar here, was riding a cycle on the main road near the Khyber Pass area when a branch broke off a tree due to strong winds and fell on his head, a police officer said.
He was immediately taken to Parmanand Hospital by his son Sarfraj, where doctors declared him dead, the officer said, adding that inquest proceedings are underway.
