Delhi youth killed after being hit by speeding SUV
Earlier, a 23-year-old youth was killed in a road accident in Delhi’s Dwarka after being hit by a SUV driven by a minor. The incident took place on February 3 at about 11:57 am near Lal Bahadur Shastri College.
When the police arrived at the scene, they found three damaged vehicles: a Scorpio SUV, a Dzire sedan, and a motorcycle at the scene.
The rider of the motorcycle, 23‑year‑old Sahil Dhaneshra, was found dead at the location. The taxi driver, identified as Ajit Singh, sustained injuries in the collision and was transported to IGI Hospital for medical care.
The Scorpio was being driven by 17‑year‑old Akshatra Singh, who did not possess a valid driving licence. Being a minor, he was taken into custody and produced before the Juvenile Justice Board. He was placed in an observation home and subsequently granted interim bail on February 10 to enable him to sit for his Class 10 board exams. Akshatra’s father was also arrested in connection with the incident.
During the investigation, all three vehicles were seized for examination, their paperwork was verified, and CCTV footage from the vicinity was obtained.
According to the probe so far, the Scorpio initially collided with the motorcycle that was approaching from the opposite direction and then struck the Dzire, which was stationary on the roadside.
An FIR has been filed at Dwarka South Police Station in relation to the case.
