The victims, Surya and Guru Sharan from Kandarawa, were heading towards a roadside juice stall when the vehicle hit them head-on.
The driver did not stop after the collision and reportedly went on to hit another pedestrian, Mohammad Kaleem, near the Hanuman Temple. Onlookers rushed the injured to a medical centre, and one critically wounded person was referred to the district hospital for advanced treatment. The locals managed to get hold of the driver.
