Deputy Commissioner of Police (South Delhi) Chandan Choudhary said the injured identified as Ramashish Kumar is a resident of Pilanji village, Sarojini Nagar, and works in the parking lot of Saket Mall. He said the speeding car driven by a girl hit him from behind.
Though the local police were informed about the accident well in time, no action was taken in the matter despite the fact that the entire incident is recorded on the CCTV cameras installed at the spot.
It’s said the matter was not even informed to the senior officers of the district police. Police officials attributed the delay to the indecision of the victim who wanted to discuss the matter with his family before filing his complaint. Investigation into the case is on.
