'The men knew she was stuck, deliberately killed her': Friend recounts Delhi car horror

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said he spoke to the mother of the victim and a compensation of Rs 10 lakh for the kin.

New Delhi, Jan 03: As gruesome revelations continue to emerge in the accident case of a 20-year-old girl in Delhi's Sultanpuri, her friend, who was with her on the day of accident, said the accused deliberately killed her as they kept driving despite knowing she was stuck under the vehicle.

Narrating the sequence of events on the fateful night, Nidhi said that she had a fight with Anjali over riding the two-wheeler outside the hotel where they met their friends and attended a New Year party. Anjali was drunk and threatened to jump off the moving two-wheeler if she was not allowed to drive her scooter, her friend claimed.

"We left the hotel at around 1.45 am. She (Anjali) wanted to ride the scooty but I said no I will ride it. After we left and were on the move, Anjali said she would jump from the two-wheeler if she was not allowed to drive. It is my scooty and I will drive it she told me," the friend claimed.

"After being hit by the car, she came under the car, got dragged with it. The men in the car knew the woman was stuck under their car but they did not stop and deliberately killed her. I was scared and went away from there, didn't tell anything to anyone," Nidhi, the main eyewitness said.

The mortal remains of the 20-year-old woman who was killed after being hit and dragged by a car in Delhi were cremated amid heavy security today evening. Victims' mother demanded that all the five accused should be hanged.

"We want that all the five accused should be hanged, that's what we want. Public won't sit quietly just because my daughter has been cremated," said the mother of the Delhi woman who died after she was dragged under a car on New Year morning.

Gruesome revelations continue to emerge in the accident case of a 20-year-old girl in Delhi's Sultanpuri. Latest CCTV footage that surfaced online on Tuesday showed the victim fighting with another woman (her friend) outside a hotel just hours before the accident.

The CCTV footage was retrieved by police from the hotel where the woman had gone with a few of her friends, sources said. Singh worked part-time with an event management firm. Five men who were allegedly in the car were booked for culpable homicide, among other charges, on Monday.

Delhi Police has also constituted an inquiry committee, headed by Special Commissioner Shalini Singh, and asked her to submit a probe report as early as possible, officials said.

All five accused were sent to a three-day police custody on Monday. Singh's post-mortem was conducted under the supervision of a medical board at the Maulana Azad Medical College premises here on Monday.

Shock and haemorrhage due to injury to the head, spine and lower limbs led to Singh's death, according to the preliminary autopsy report which also indicated "no injury suggestive of sexual assault", the police said.
