Kanpur, Oct 18 A factory worker was killed after his two-wheeler was allegedly hit by a truck and dragged on for 500 metres on the Kanpur-Sagar highway of Hamirpur district in Uttar Pradesh.

The police said on Wednesday that the victim, Shaktikant Yadav (26) was on his way for his night shift in a unit of Hindustan Lever when the truck hit his bike from behind.
