The case comes less than a week after another fatal crash involving a Thar was reported in the national capital. On August 10, two homeless men sleeping on a pavement in Chanakyapuri were killed when an SUV rammed into them. The driver, identified as Anil Bachchas, was arrested from the spot. Inside the vehicle, the police said, drugs, including cocaine, LSD, methamphetamine, marijuana, and hashish, along with Rs 25,000 in cash and a mobile phone were recovered.
