New Delhi: A 70-year-old man died and four others, including two children, were injured after a car driven by a 19-year-old spun out of control in northeast Delhi’s Nand Nagri on Saturday. According to police, the car’s accelerator got stuck due to the driver’s slippers, which led to the vehicle accelerating uncontrollably.
The car hit multiple vehicles, including two motorcycles, a scooter, and a moped, before it finally ran over the elderly citizen, identified as Bhogi Ram.
The incident occurred around 1.20pm on Saturday when Bhogi Ram, a resident of Nand Nagri, was sitting on a footpath outside a shop after having lunch. He was chatting with some locals when the car, driven by Bilal, hit him and dragged him for about 15 metres. Bhogi Ram died on the spot, and four people, including Subhash Chand, a salesman, and two children, sustained injuries. Subhash Chand is reported to be in critical condition with a fractured leg.
The accused driver, Bilal, who does not possess a valid driving licence, was caught by the crowd and beaten up before the police arrived at the scene. The mob also vandalised the car. Bilal was arrested by the police, who took him into custody for further questioning. Police have registered a case of negligent driving and causing death.
Bhogi Ram had been preparing for his granddaughter’s wedding, set for later this month. He was eagerly looking forward to the celebrations, but the joyful occasion has now turned into a time of mourning.
Police confirmed that the accident occurred due to the driver’s slippers getting stuck in the car’s accelerator. Cops are investigating the incident further by reviewing CCTV footage from the area
Further investigation is underway.
