The incident took place on February 3. The victim was identified as Sahil Dhaneshra.
In a post on X on Sunday, his mother, Inna Makan, sobbed as she appealed to the police and media to take action against the driver who killed her son. “I lost my son, Sahil Dhaneshra, a 22-year-old talented boy whom I raised for 23 years alone as a single mum. He was killed brutally by a Scorpio… the driver was unlicensed and his sister was making reels in the car whilst he sped around,” alleged Makan in the video message.
According to police, they received a PCR call around 11.57 am on February 3 informing them about the accident.
