Speeding car hits trucks,youth vent ire on driver,reporter

A PTI report late in the night said Havneet Singh (24),the son of a Punjabi Bagh-based businessman,who was driving the car has been arrested in connection with the incident.

The incident happened around 2 am on Sunday near the Andrews Ganj underpass on the Ring Road. The Tata 407 tempo was parked at the end of underpass,as some workers were removing garbage from the roadside,when the Volkswagen coming from Dhaula Kuan side rammed into it from behind,the police said.

Though no one was injured in the incident,the occupants of the car allegedly started abusing the tempo driver for parking on the roadside. A mediaperson,who was passing by,tried to shoot the incident,but they allegedly broke his camera.

“They looked drunk and were abusing and hitting the truck driver. They even broke a TV reporter’s camera,” an eyewitness told the police.

One of them reportedly called a friend who soon reached the spot and too them away in a Scorpio. The police reached the spot only after this,though the Defence Colony police station is just across the road.

The police have impounded the car and assured that the accused will be arrested soon. Sources said a woman in the car has been identified as TV anchor and daughter of a bureaucrat.
