For Girja Kumar Bharadwaj, a 43-year-old cab driver, it was just another trip ferrying passengers. But fate had other plans. A speeding Citroën car came down the Panchsheel flyover in South Delhi, amid the early-morning fog and poor visibility, and hit Bharadwaj’s white Hyundai Xcent. The impact, so deadly, killed Bharadwaj and one of the two passengers on the spot.
