The 38-year-old restaurant manager — who also worked as a Zomato delivery executive to earn extra income — was killed in a road accident on January 10 after a Delhi police constable rammed his car into his bike. The constable was allegedly under the influence of alcohol.

Tripathi was the sole breadwinner of the family and he lived in Delhi with his mother, wife and a son. His father had recently died of Covid-19.
