Delhi Police Constable Killed in Road Rage Incident
A 30-year-old Delhi police constable, Sandeep, tragically died after a car dragged him during a road rage incident in Nangloi. The incident occurred late last night while he was on patrolling duty, wearing civil clothes. Sandeep was on his motorcycle when a speeding WagonR tried to overtake him. The constable asked the driver to slow down, but the car accelerated, hitting his bike and dragging him for about 10 meters.
Fatal Accident Captured on CCTV
The horrifying accident was captured on a nearby CCTV camera. The footage shows Sandeep gesturing at the car to slow down, only for the vehicle to pick up speed and hit him. He was rushed to a nearby hospital but succumbed to severe head injuries after being referred to another facility.
Investigation and Search for Accused
The car had two occupants, who fled the scene after abandoning the vehicle. The police have seized the WagonR and registered a murder case. Authorities are actively searching for the suspects. Senior officer Jimmy Chiram said the initial investigation points to road rage, and a verbal exchange between Sandeep and the driver may have escalated the situation.
Family and Speculations
Sandeep leaves behind his mother, wife, and a five-year-old son. While some reports suggest one of the car occupants may be involved in the illegal liquor trade, the police have not confirmed this claim. The investigation is ongoing.
Alarming Rise in Road Rage Cases
This incident highlights the rising number of road rage cases in the National Capital Region. Just last month, a 32-year-old auto-rickshaw driver in Faridabad was assaulted after his vehicle brushed against a car. Unfortunately, he later died from his injuries. In July, another case of road rage led to a man opening fire on a family of four, resulting in the death of a 30-year-old woman.
Conclusion
The tragic loss of Constable Sandeep emphasizes the need for stricter measures to address road rage incidents, which continue to rise across the region. The police remain committed to bringing the accused to justice in this latest case.
