NEW DELHI: A 36-year-old man was killed after his scooter was hit by a speeding car in west Delhi’s Moti Nagar early on Sunday. The police have arrested the woman who was driving the car and seized the vehicle, a black BMW.
The deceased, identified as Ajay Gupta, lived with his family in Basai Darapur locality of west Delhi and ran a grocery shop. The incident took place around 4am. He had gone to a hospital to buy medicines and was on his way back home.
The accused woman, 28, is an architect who lives in Ashok Vihar with her family. She was returning home after attending a party at Greater Kailash, police said.
The police received a PCR call about an accident near Moti Nagar Metro station at 4.08am and a team rushed to the spot. They found the damaged vehicles on the spot, but their occupants were missing. A damaged generator, hit by the car during the accident, was also found there.
It emerged that the woman had taken Gupta to a nearby EBG hospital, from where he was shifted to ESI hospital by his relatives. He, however, succumbed to his injuries during treatment.
Cops registered an FIR under Sections 304 A (causing death by negligence) and 279 (causing death due to negligence and rash driving) of the IPC and the accused was arrested, but let off on bail. The body was sent for autopsy.
The police have collected samples of woman for an alcohol test and the report is awaited. Further action would be taken accordingly, they said.
The incident led to protests by the victim’s kin and locals. They shouted slogans against the police and authorities and blocked the road for some time. They were later dispersed by the police, who promised strict action.
The woman claimed that the man suddenly appeared in front of her car and she was not able to control her vehicle. Cops, however, will probe her testimony. Police said they were scanning the CCTV footage of cameras installed near the spot. “The car was being driven at a high speed. A mechanical inspection of the vehicle will be conducted, which will give us more information about the accident,” the officer said.
