On enquiry, it was found Maani and her husband Pradeep Purchased one Thar Rox car from a Mahindra Showroom situated at Nirman Vihar,” Deputy Commissioner of Police (East) Abhishek Dhania said.

The car was parked on the first floor of the showroom and was being delivered to the owner when it darted off, went through the showroom glass, and plunged on to the ground.

“The lady, her husband and one worker of the showroom Vikas were inside the car. Vikas, the salesman, was explaining the function of the car,” the officer said.

“No one was injured and no complaint was received from anyone,” Dhania said.
