The victims are residents of Jain Maharaj Colony and are into hosiery business. Ashish said they had gone to New Delhi on Sunday to pay obeisance at a religious place. "Coming back late on Sunday night, Rajinder Jain probably fell asleep while on the wheel. As a result, the car rammed into a truck," he added.
