A 23-year-old man was hit by a car in the outer circle of New Delhi district’s Cannaught Place on the intervening night of Wednesday and Thursday, police said. The victim identified as Kundam succumbed to his injuries when he was taken to the hospital.
According to a senior police official, the incident happened around 2.30am when Kundan, who works in a service centre in Ghazipur, was walking on the main close to the sidewalk, when a Chevrolet car rammed into him.
“Kundam flew a few metres away and started bleeding profusely. The driver immediately got out of his car and tried to pick Kundan up but when he saw him motionless, the accused fled from the spot,” said the police official, adding, “a passerby saw Kundan and immediately made a PCR call.”
Police reached the spot and took Kundan to RMl Hospital, where he was declared brought dead by the doctors.
