An FIR has been registered against the unknown SUV driver who immediately fled the spot in his vehicle, they added.
The dead has been identified as Nasima Khatoon, a native of Assam. She died during treatment at AIIMS, Delhi, the police said. According to a complaint filed by the woman's husband Aminul Haq, the accident took place around 6.30 pm on Sunday when Khatoon was returning home from work on a bicycle.
