Delhi Police set to conduct audiometry tests on accused to ascertain accused were having no hearing loss during the accident
Delhi Police is going to conduct audiometry tests on four occupants of the Baleno car which hit 20-year-old Anjali Singh and dragged her for several kilometres to ascertain if the accused heard the thudding sound produced by the collision on January 1.
The tests will discover whether the accused had any hearing loss during the gruesome accident on new year’s night. Anjali got stuck beneath the Baleno car after the accident and was dragged for around 13 kilometres, which resulted in her death.
On Monday, Delhi Police officials told a court that their investigation revealed that all four occupants – Manoj Mittal, Amit Khanna, Krishan and Mithun – got down to see if Anjali was stuck under the wheels, two minutes after the accident. However, they sped away, leading to Anjali’s death, the police said.
Delhi Police produced all six accused – four occupants of the car and two co-accused, Ankush Khanna and Ashutosh Sharma, who were arrested for tampering with the evidence – before the court. The court has sent them to judicial custody.
The police did not seek further custody. However, the police also informed that that they have collected various forensic evidence as well as six CCTV footages related to the incident. A few more reports are yet to be come, police said.
Police also told the court that they have recorded the statements of 20 persons so far, while they are yet to record the statements of two others.
The police are also taking the help of face recognition system software to match the faces of the accused with the CCTV images.
The police told the court that the accused hit the scooter driven by Anjali Singh, with Nidhi riding as a pillion, with the Baleno car they were travelling in.
The impact of the accident was such that Anjali came under the wheels of the car while Nidhi fell at the roadside. Instead of applying breaks, the accused fled the scene with Anjali stuck below.
The accused did stop the car two minutes later. They saw that Anjali was still stuck under the car. But instead of pulling her body out, the accused once again sped away.
After travelling for almost 13 kilometers by the time Anjali’s body came out of the car, the accused went to Rohini Sector-I, where they parked the car before handing over the keys to the car’s owner, Ashutosh Sharma.
