In another blind hit-and-run case in the national capital, a woman died after she was severely injured. Soon after the accident, the Delhi Police registered an FIR in connection to the matter and traced
the offending vehicle involved in the accident, a white Hyundai i20.
Acting on information received at 2:32 pm at Police Station IP Estate, an FIR was registered under Sections 281 and 106(2) of the Bharatiya Nyay Sanhita.
During the investigation, the police analysed multiple CCTV footage clips installed along the Yamuna Bridge stretch. Based on the initial analysis, approximately 40 to 50 vehicles were shortlisted, and their owners were contacted for examination.
During the inquiry, one driver informed the police that the offending vehicle was a white Hyundai i20 fleeing toward Sachivalaya Bhawan; however, the number plate was unclear.
Further analysis of the footage up to Kishan Ghat revealed the registration number of the vehicle. The vehicle was found registered under the name of a resident of Daryaganj. Upon enquiry, it was discovered that he had shifted to the MAMC Campus, Delhi. The Police located the new address and successfully traced both the offending vehicle and its driver.
The accused was interrogated at length, during which he confessed to driving the said vehicle at the time of the accident and admitted that he fled the scene out of fear.
Further investigation is underway to establish the identity of the deceased woman.
