Background
In a tragic road rage incident that took place in the Nangloi area two days ago, Delhi Police constable Sandeep, aged 30, was killed after being dragged approximately 10 meters by a speeding vehicle. While the car involved has been seized, the driver remains at large.
CCTV footage from the vicinity captured key moments leading up to the event, aiding the ongoing investigation. The driver reportedly fled the scene after the incident, prompting a thorough police inquiry.
The incident unfolded when constable Sandeep, observing the driver’s reckless behavior, signaled for him to slow down. Instead of complying, the driver accelerated, hitting Sandeep’s motorcycle from behind. Both Sandeep and his bike were dragged before crashing into another vehicle.
