A day after a 28-year-old man died in a collision on Ring Road when an Audi car jumped the divider and crashed into his Ertiga, Delhi Police said on Sunday they arrested the man who drove the Audi during the incident.
Surendra Choudhary, Deputy Commissioner of Police, Southwest, said, “After analysing approximately 50 CCTV cameras, a police team made a route and chased for around 60 km and arrested the accused.”
The accused, Paras Pathaniya, 25, is a resident of Paschim Vihar and had fled the accident spot.
The victim, Sukhjit, a resident of Hisar in Haryana, was travelling from Dhaula Kuan towards South Extension when the Audi, coming from the opposite direction, veered off course, crossed the divider and collided head-on with Sukhjit’s SUV around 6.30 am on Saturday.
An ambulance rushed Sukhjit to the AIIMS Trauma Centre, but he was declared dead on arrival, said the police.
Pathaniya has been arrested under Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita sections 281 (rash driving) and 106 (death by negligence). He returned in April 2024 from Canada, where he had been living since 2018.
