Retired Vice-Principal Satpal Singh Dies in Hit-and-Run Accident

Accident – Death – Obituary News : New Delhi: A tragic incident occurred in Khajuri Khas, where a 60-year-old retired vice-principal of a Delhi government school lost his life after being hit by an unidentified vehicle. The victim, identified as Satpal Singh, was out for his regular morning walk when the incident took place on Wednesday.

According to the police, they received a PCR call at 6:17 am reporting a man lying dead with a crushed face. The caller suspected that the man had met with an accident. Upon reaching the scene near Khajuri Chowk, the police found the victim and immediately rushed him to a nearby hospital. However, he was declared dead upon arrival.

Satpal Singh, who lived with his family in Khajuri Khas, worked as a vice-principal at a school in Molarband. The incident has left his family and the local community in shock and mourning.

Investigations into the incident have revealed that the retired vice-principal was a regular morning walker and had gone out for his routine exercise when the accident occurred. Passersby who witnessed the incident rushed to help, but unfortunately, it was too late.

Preliminary investigations suggest that Satpal Singh might have been the victim of a hit-and-run accident involving a heavy vehicle. The impact of the collision was severe, resulting in a crushed head and profuse bleeding. However, due to the lack of CCTV footage at the scene, it has been challenging for the police to identify the suspected vehicle or the route taken by the driver to flee the spot.

A case has been registered under sections 279 (rash driving or riding on a public way) and 304 A (causing death by negligence) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC). Multiple teams have been formed to crack the case and bring the culprit to justice. The victim’s family has been informed about the tragic incident.

This incident serves as a reminder of the importance of road safety and the need for stricter enforcement of traffic rules. Hit-and-run accidents continue to be a cause for concern in the city, and measures must be taken to prevent such incidents in the future.

In recent news, another incident involving the death of a 77-year-old retired laboratory assistant has taken a new turn. Initially thought to be a fatal fall, CCTV footage revealed that the incident was, in fact, a murder. The footage captured a motorcycle-borne individual intercepting the victim, initiating a confrontation that escalated into a violent assault.

Additionally, a 57-year-old Delhi Police sub-inspector named Ashok Kumar lost his life in a bike accident in Ghaziabad. The accident occurred while he was returning home from a wedding. The impact of the crash suggests that the sub-inspector was speeding, resulting in severe injuries.

In a different development, the AIADMK and BJP walked out during a special session of the state legislative assembly in protest of the reintroduction of ten Bills that were withheld and returned by Governor R N Ravi. The resolution against the governor’s actions was deemed unconstitutional by the BJP, leading to their walkout.

As investigations into the hit-and-run incident in Khajuri Khas continue, it is crucial for authorities to identify and apprehend the responsible party. Road safety remains a top priority, and measures must be taken to ensure the safety of pedestrians and commuters on Delhi’s streets..
