Days after the  Kanjhawala accident/ incident, the Delhi police has revealed that it is conducting raids to arrest two more men in connection to the case.

Nobody knows but the case despite of its severity getting to be hidden behind a maze of confusion.

On the New Year day , a grey Baleno hit 20-year-old Anjali Singh’s two-wheeler in outer Delhi’s Sultanpuri, after which her entangled body stuck under the car got dragged for several kilometres.

Nobody knows, not even any by-stander that, why there was alarm raised from any side. It is also said that, one or two of the accused knew that, some body was there beneath the wheels yet no effort was made to stop.

Was it then pre-planned, such apprehensions are being aired from the police sources.

However, five were arrested and an FIR filed under sections pertaining to rash driving, culpable homicide not amounting to murder, and death due to negligence.

On Thursday, 5 January, Delhi police’s Special Commissioner of Police (Law and Order) Sagar Preet Hooda said, “We found contradictions in the accused’s version. As per CCTV footgage and Call Detail Records (CDR), we found out that two more people were involved. Police teams are conducting raids to arrest them.”

On 1 January, the Delhi police had arrested Deepak Khanna, Amit Khanna, Manoj Mittal, Krishan and Mithun. Now the police is on the look out for two other accused, identified as Ashutosh and Ankush Khanna.

If that is a compulsive cause for the delay then why the police is not able to trace the trails of the two other accused as yet.

Whether it was Ankush or his brother, the sixth accused, was driving the car, the rest in the vehicle should not have been unaware of a body under.

Again, according to the Special CP Hooda, the sixth and seventh accused were not physically present at the time of the incident. That amounts to be a contradiction of the CP’s version that Ankush was driving.

Now a new angle surfaces that whether the victim was inebriated that time. Can that be a relevant clue behind all that happened when she was dragged for kilometres .

The investigators have said that “section 302 (murder) of the IPC has not yet been added in the case, however, “the accused were aware that there is a human body under the car,” which is why IPC section 304 (culpable homicide not amounting to murder) fits the case.”

Then where does the laxity lies in the case of the probe. Will police be made accountable for the delay in taking it to a fast-track court.
