[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]In another horrific road accident in the national capital, a homeless man was mowed down by a speeding BMW car, driven by an 18-year-old student, son of a businessman, in the North campus of Delhi University.
Jatin Narwal, Deputy Commissioner of Police (south), told mediapersons in Saturday that the accused driver is Abhinav Sahni, a first-year B Com student of Sri Guru Tegh Bahadur Khalsa College. “The accused is a resident of west Delhi’s Punjabi Bagh and was driving his father’s BMW X1 when the accident happened. His father is a businessman.”
The victim was identified with the help of the mobile phone found with the dead body. The DCP said, “The man killed in the accident was Shiv Nath, a homeless person who was in his late 40s. A mobile phone in his possession helped police identify him.”
On Wednesday morning Nath was hit by the speeding car at around 1.15 pm in front of Hanuman temple on the Kirori Mal College Road. The police official said, “Nath was flung several feet in the air before he landed on the road. He died before he could be brought to a hospital. The car driver did not stop after the accident to check on the victim.”
According to police official there was no eyewitness of the accident. “But, a small iron rod that was part of the car’s bonnet had broken due to the impact of the hit. The investigators found the broken piece at the accident spot and found a number marked on it.” Police also found CCTV footage of the stretch that indicated that it was a red BMW X1.
“But the registration number plate was not captured by the camera. So, we contacted the car company and sought their help in identifying the car. They used the number on the broken rod to give us the engine and chassis number of the car,” said the DCP. The registration number turned out to be a VIP number, 0001.
Thereafter, Police reached Abhinav’s home in Punjabi Bagh. They booked him for causing death by negligence and rash driving, and arrested him.
According to police sources, “Abhinav claimed that he was returning home from college when the accident happened. He was accompanied by two friends.”
The police official investigating the case said, “The interaction with Abhinav’s family suggested that he had concealed the accident from his parents. He told us that he panicked after the accident and decided to drive ahead. He couldn’t apply the brakes on time on spotting the man on the road.”
In 1999, Delhi hit-and-run-case, Sanjeev Nanda, than a business school student and son of Suresh Nanda, a renowned industrialist, ran over six people, including three police officers. Though Nanda and several related parties were acquitted, but was later found guilty in 2008 and sentenced for two years imprisonment and two years of community service. The case was viewed as “a test of the judicial system’s ability to take on the powerful”.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
