Staff Reporter

Booked for culpable homicide not amounting to murder

NEW DELHI: A 27-year-old RTV driver who had allegedly left an accident victim to die near the Najafgarh drain on Thursday night has been arrested by the South-West Delhi police. He has been booked for culpable homicide not amounting to murder.

According to the police, Kumari Baby (22), a resident of Dabri, had gone for work to Mayapuri. On her way back, she alighted from a bus at Madhu Vihar bus stand in Dwarka around 9-30 p.m.

As soon as she got down, Baby was knocked down by a speeding RTV.

When other commuters and passers-by caught hold of him, he promised that he would take the victim to a hospital in his vehicle. Believing the driver, the crowd that had gathered let the vehicle go.

But instead of taking Baby to a hospital, the RTV driver dumped her near Najafgarh drain.

The police and her family members searched every hospital in the area through the night but could not trace her.

In the morning, the police got a call that the body of a woman was lying near the drain. The police reached the spot and identified the body as that of Baby.
