New Delhi: Delhi Police has arrested the truck driver for running over a scooter rider on the Naraina flyover and fleeing on Oct 24.DCP (West) Hareshwar V Swami said the case was cracked through systematic CCTV analysis and verification of vehicles despite the absence of eyewitnesses.After a PCR call on Oct 24, police reached the flyover on the carriageway from Dhaula Kuan towards Mayapuri and found a man lying unconscious near a damaged scooty. The victim was rushed to Deen Dayal Upadhyay Hospital, where he was declared dead on arrival. Police registered an FIR and launched an investigation.The accused, Innas Khan (34), a resident of Alwar in Rajasthan, was held after police examined footage from multiple CCTV cameras and verified around 50-60 vehicles that had crossed the flyover around the time of the accident.During the verification process, one driver told police that a red open-body vehicle travelling ahead of him had hit the scooter. Acting on this lead, the police traced the vehicle’s registered owner, who disclosed that Khan was driving it on the day of the accident. The owner subsequently produced the accused along with the vehicle.During interrogation, Khan told investigators that around 4.30 am, a scooty rider had come under his truck. However, instead of stopping to check on the victim, he continued towards his delivery destination in Delhi, unloaded the goods and subsequently left for Gujarat with another consignment, police said.Police seized the truck allegedly involved in the incident.
