A 27-year-old woman and her eight-day-old son died after being run over by a cylinder-laden truck while riding a motorcycle with her husband on the Daurala-Mussoorie road.
Villagers caught and assaulted the fleeing driver, blocked the road to demand financial assistance and a job for a family member, and damaged an ambulance during the protest.
