New Delh, Nov. 9 -- Delhi Police have arrested a 34-year-old truck driver for allegedly fleeing after hitting a scooter rider, who later died, on the Naraina flyover in west Delhi on October 24, an officer said on Monday.
The accused, Innas Khan, a Rajasthan resident, was arrested after police examined CCTV footage and verified around 50-60 vehicles that crossed the flyover around the time of the accident.
Police received a PCR call about the accident on October 24 and found the rider unconscious beside his damaged scooter. He was taken to Deen Dayal Upadhyay Hospital, where doctors declared him brought dead.
With no eyewitnesses, police examined footage from the flyover and adjoining roads. A driver subsequently told investigators that a red open-body vehicle ahead of him had hit the scooter. Police traced its owner, who identified Khan as the driver. During interrogation, Khan allegedly admitted continuing his journey without stopping.
