Jhansi, Nov 11 (PTI) Three friends were killed after their motorcycle rammed into a stationary truck here, police said on Wednesday.

    The accident occurred around 10.30 pm on Tuesday on Lalitpur Road near Durgapur in the Premnagar area when the three were returning home after distributing wedding invitation cards for the sister of one of them in neighbouring Lalitpur district, police said.

    The deceased were identified as Raj Sengar, 23, a resident of Puliya Number Nine locality in Premnagar, and his friends Harsh, 21, and Ayush, 17, police said.

    According to police, Raj had gone to Talbehat in Lalitpur district along with his two friends on Tuesday evening to distribute invitation cards for his sister Kajal's wedding, scheduled for November 25.
