60-year-old woman dies after being run over by SUV in Nangloi

“On reaching the spot the police came to know that the woman was crossing the road when a black Scorpio car hit her, after which the driver fled with the car,” DCP (Outer) Sachin Sharma said.

The police said that some shopkeepers, who were eyewitnesses to the accident, alerted officers at Nangloi police station.
“The PCR received a call around 8.30 am. According to the caller, the vehicle sped off and people present in the area at the time of the incident were unable to note its registration number,” a police officer said.

Some bystanders took the women to Sanjay Gandhi Memorial Hospital in an auto rickshaw. The woman was later recognised as Neema Devi.

“Neema Devi was a resident of Nasirpur. When officers reached the hospital, she was not in a state to give a statement. No eyewitness was found at the hospital,” DCP Sharma said.

Around 11 am, the police were informed that Neema succumbed to her injuries at the hospital, an officer said.

“A case under sections 281(rash driving) and 106 (death by negligence) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita was registered at Nangloi police station. Further investigation is under progress,” DCP Sharma added.
