Delhi Police Sub-Inspector Severely Injured in Hit-and-Run Incident

A 59-year-old sub-inspector of the Delhi Police was left with severe injuries after being struck by a speeding car at Peeragarhi Chowk while on duty. The driver responsible for the accident has been apprehended by the authorities.

The injured policeman, identified as SI Ram Kishan, serves in the traffic unit of the Delhi Police.

According to DCP (Outer) Jimmy Chiram, immediate action was taken after the accident. The suspect, identified as Kedarnath, a 46-year-old resident of Palwal, was promptly caught, and his vehicle was seized.

The incident occurred when the accused, driving a white car with a registration number from Uttar Pradesh, was approaching from the Nangloi side. The driver, reportedly speeding, suddenly took a turn and collided with Ram Kishan. In an attempt to flee, the accused made a U-turn but was pursued by local residents.

Witnesses at the scene reported hearing a loud noise and discovered the injured policeman with severe injuries to his forearm and legs. He was immediately rushed to a nearby hospital, where he was later referred to another medical facility for further treatment.

The police have registered a case against the accused under sections pertaining to rash driving and causing grievous hurt, based on statements provided by witnesses and commuters.

In a tragic coincidence, two Delhi Police inspectors lost their lives in a separate road accident on the same day. The officers were en route from Delhi to Haryana’s Sonepat on official duty when their vehicle collided with a stationary truck. The incident occurred while the inspectors were actively working on a case.
