New Delhi: An eyewitness narrated the horrific details of the incident of a 20-year-old girl who was killed after her scooty was hit by a car and was being dragged by it for a few kilometres in the national capital’s Kanjhawala area in Sultanpuri on Sunday. Deepak Dahiya, who runs a confectionary shop at the Kanjhawala Road in Ladpur village told news agency ANI that the girl’s body was dragged for about 18-20 kilometres which lasted around one and a half hours.

"It was 3:20 am...I was standing outside the shop when I heard a loud noise from a vehicle about 100 metres away. Earlier I thought it was a tire burst. As soon as the car moved, I saw a body being dragged. I informed the police immediately," Dahiya was reported as saying. 

After some time, he said around 3:30 am, the car took a u-turn and the dead body of the woman was still stuck under the vehicle. Dahiya said the accused drove repeatedly on the road of about 4-5 kilometres by taking u-turns. 

"I tried to stop them many times but they did not stop the vehicle. For about one and a half hours they carried the girl's body for about 20 km,' he said, adding that he chased the car on his bike and was in contact with the police.  

After about one and a half hours, the body fell from the car near Jyoti village on Kanjhawala Road, after which the accused fled, he said. 

"It could not be just an accident," Dahiya highlighted.

Delhi Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena expressed his anger over the incident and said that he was shocked at the “monstrous insensitivity of the perpetrators.” 

My head hangs in shame over the inhuman crime in Kanjhawala-Sultanpuri today morning and I am shocked at the monstrous insensitivity of the perpetrators.Have been monitoring with the Commissioner of Police, Delhi and the accused have been apprehended. All aspects are being thoroughly looked into,” the LG tweeted. 

“Even as every possible support/help and beyond, to the family of the victim will be ensured, I appeal to all to not resort to opportunistic scavenging. Let's together work towards a more responsible and sensitive society,” he added.
