“A case under Section 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 has been registered,” said a senior police officer.
This incident comes to light weeks after a 20-year-old Anjali Singh was dragged to death for about 13 km, from Sultanpuri to Kanjhawala, after her clothes got entangled in the wheel of the car which hit the scooty she was driving. Seven people have been arrested in the case and 11 policemen were suspended who were on PCR and picket duty on the route.
Shock and haemorrhage due to injury to the head, spine, and lower limbs led to Singh’s death. People held slogans saying “Anjali ko insaaf do (Give justice to Anjali)” during the funeral procession.
