New Delhi: Indian shooting ace Manu Bhaker, a double medallist at last year’s Paris Olympics was bereaved as two of her close relatives were victims of a road accident on Sunday.

Manu’s grandmother and uncle died after their scooter was hit by a car, reported India Today.

The duo was riding a scooter on Mahendragarh Bypass Road when they were hit by a Brezza car around 9 am.

The collision was so severe that Manu’s grandmother and uncle died on the spot. The car driver fled the scene after the accident.
