Earlier on Thursday, Nidhi's mother revealed several shocking details of the case. She alleged that Anjali was murdered.

She told ABP News that her daughter said the accused deliberately ran the car over Anjali to and fro several times. She claimed Nidhi told her that Anjali has been murdered by the culprits. 

She added the accused even tried to run over Nidhi but somehow, she escaped. She said that there were black windows in the car. She claimed that Nidhi told her entire details of the events that happened that night. 

Delhi police held a press conference on Thursday to address the questions of the case. It said that no evidence has been found yet to register the Kanjhawala case as a murder, adding that two more people were involved in the gruesome crime taking the total number of accused in the case from 5 to 7. 

The police also said that Nidhi is a "crucial" witness in the case.

"Nidhi is a crucial witness. Her statement was recorded under IPC Section 164 in the court so that allegation is not levelled that police recorded the statement," said Sagar Preet Hooda, Special Commissioner of Police, Law and Order. 

The Delhi Police said that neither Nidhi, the victim's friend, nor the victim herself had any connection with the accused and added that 18 teams are investigating the matter. 

Anjali Singh, a 20-year-old woman was killed after her scooty collided with a Baleno car in Delhi's Dwarka and was dragged by the car for about 12 kilometres. Anjali's was with Nidhi on the scooty at the time of the accident. Nidhi fled the spot which raised several questions.
