Delhi Police have arrested two men in connection with a hit-and-run incident that claimed the life of a Delhi University student working as a newspaper distributor, officials said on Friday.
The accident occurred on March 1 near KN Katju Marg, following which a case was registered, and an investigation was launched, police said.
With the help of CCTV footage, authorities identified the vehicle involved—a blue Hyundai Venue. The driver, Saurabh Gupta (26), and his passenger, Pankaj Gupta (41), both residents of Rohini’s Sector 16, were taken into custody, according to a police statement.
During interrogation, the accused confessed to the crime, stating that they were returning from Hanuman Temple in Yamuna Bazaar when they struck the student at a T-point and fled the scene, police said. They later got the car repaired in an attempt to conceal their involvement.
The suspects, who run a children’s play zone outlet in Paschim Vihar, are related as maternal uncle and nephew, officials added.
The deceased was identified as Rishal Singh, a resident of Budh Vihar. He was a college student who also worked as a newspaper distributor in the mornings.
