Police Detain Driver and Begin Probe Into Rash Driving Case
Police detained the BMW driver at the spot soon after the accident and started an investigation into rash and negligent driving. The vehicle carries a Himachal Pradesh registration number, and police are now checking ownership details and verifying the driver’s identity. Officers said they will confirm the presence of alcohol only after receiving medical test reports.
The accident took place right in front of Ambience Mall, an area known for heavy late-night traffic. Police sealed the site, called in a forensic team to study the damage, and asked eyewitnesses to share information to help the investigation.
Delhi Police said, “At around 2:33 AM, a PCR call about a road accident was received at Vasant Kunj North police station. When the police reached the spot, they found a Mercedes G63 in a damaged condition and three injured people – aged 23, 35, and 23 – lying at the location. All three worked at a restaurant in Ambience Mall. They were immediately taken to the hospital. During the medical examination, Rohit, aged 23 and a resident of Chamoli, Uttarakhand, was declared dead, while the other two are still undergoing treatment.
The driver, identified as Shivam (29), a resident of Karol Bagh, New Delhi, has been caught. At the time of the incident, he was driving the car with his wife and elder brother. Initial investigation suggests that the driver lost control of the vehicle, causing it to crash into a pole where the three victims were standing at an auto stand. It is being reported that the accused was returning home after attending a wedding. The car belongs to Shivam’s friend Abhishek. Necessary legal action is being taken.”
The Delhi Police have launched a detailed investigation into the accident and are reviewing CCTV footage from the area to understand the sequence of events. Officers are studying whether the vehicle’s speed, the driver’s actions or the road conditions contributed to the collision.
