Police said the accused was chased by the public present on the spot and later handed over to the local police.
This is not the first time that such incidents have happened in the national capital. In a similar incident earlier this year, a man was hit by a car and then dragged for half a kilometre on its bonnet in Delhi’s Rajouri Garden in January. After the incident was reported, a case under sections 279 (rash driving), 323 (punishment for voluntarily causing hurt), 341 (punishment for wrongful restraint) and 308 (Attempt to commit culpable homicide) of the Indian Penal Code was registered against the accused.
The incident happened just two weeks after 20-year-old Anjali Singh was killed in the early hours of the New Year when her scooter was hit by a car which dragged her for 12 kilometres in Delhi Kanjhawala.
As per the chargesheet filed by the Delhi police in the Kanjhawala hit-and-drag case, the accused had ample opportunities to save the victim but continued to drive and knowingly dragged her with the car.
