A man and his son were killed and another person injured when their motorcycle was hit by a unidentified vehicle near Akkamcheruvu cross of Irala mandal, 30 km from here, in the wee hours of Sunday.
According to the Irala police, Kadar Basha (38) and his son Tabroz (14), along with a relative, were returning home to Kallur after attending a family function at Irala on Saturday night.
