A driver hit 12 people and eight parked vehicles before hitting a pole in west Delhi’s Tilak Nagar on Thursday evening. Witnesses said all this happened over a 400-metre stretch.
Police received a call around 9.30pm, and a team arrived soon after and arrested the driver, Arup Kumar (32). “He first hit two scooters, then a bike, then three e-rickshaws and two cars parked along the road,” said a senior police officer. The vehicle came to a stop after hitting the pole.
As soon as the car stopped, people pulled out Kumar, thrashed him and called the police. “The injured were all rushed to three different hospitals where they were treated and later discharged,” said DCP (west) Vijay Kumar. Police said Kumar, a resident of Krishna Park, was quite drunk at the time of incident. “He is a driver and had dropped a few children at a sports complex in Hari Nagar in the evening,” said a senior officer.
