New Delhi, February 28: A 30-year-old call-centre employee was crushed to death when a crane toppled and fell on three cars in west Delhi where digging work by Delhi Jal Board work was going on in the wee hours today, police said.
The incident took place near Rajouri Garden flyover at around 3 AM and the victim has been identified as Abhinav Puri, who was returning to his Tilak Nagar residence from a call centre in Gurgaon where he was employed.
