UT Additional Deputy Commissioner Kavle V Parashuram on Tuesday disposed of the much-hyped case of businessman Vikrant Kumar. Sources said, “The driver of SDM (east) Tanvi Garg has taken back the complaint and the case was discharged by ADC during the case hearing held on Tuesday.”
While talking to the mediapersons after the hearing of the case, the family members of Vikrant said that the copy of orders has not been received by them yet.
And, they would decide on next course of action after receiving order’s copy.
The family is planning to file a petition in Punjab and Haryana High Court on the issue.
The incident had happened on April 17 when Vikrant was booked under Sections 107/151 of the CrPC after the complaint of driver of SDM (east). Sections 107/151 of the CrPC are used when there is an apprehension of breach of peace and tranquillity in an area and to make arrests to prevent the commission of cognisable offences.
Vikrant, a resident of Sector 44, had reportedly avoided a collision between his jeep and the car of SDM Tanvi. And, after his arrest, he had to spend over 16 hours in jail before he was released on bail the next day.
The accused was produced in the Court of same SDM Tanvi for hearing of the case and was granted a bail on the surety of Rs10,000.
In a Press statement released earlier, Tanvi Garg had stated that she was not present in the vehicle during the time of the incident. And, Vikrant was booked on the complaint of the Tanvi’s driver in relation to a quarrel with the former. While Vikrant alleged that she was sitting in the car at the time of the incident. He alleged that he was apprehended for no fault.
The businessman has also met KK Sharma, Adviser to UT Administrator regarding the issue.
