Kanjhawala Hit N Drag Case: 800 Page Charge Sheet Filed By Delhi Cops

New Delhi: An 800-page charge sheet has been filed by Delhi Police today in the famous Kanjhawala hit and drag case. The charge sheet, against the seven accused, has listed 117 witnesses.

In this case, a young Delhi woman was killed in the early hours of the New Year after being hit by a car and being dragged for 13 kilometres.

The five men who were arrested soon after the car was tracked down — Deepak Khanna, 26, a driver in Gramin Sewa, Amit Khanna, 25, working for SBI Cards, who was allegedly driving the car, Krishan, 27, who works for the Spanish Culture Centre, Mithun, 26, a hairdresser, and Manoj Mittal, 27, a ration shop dealer — have been charged with sections of the law relating to murder, conspiracy to murder, destruction of evidence, and reckless driving.

Whereas Ashutosh, the car owner, and Ankush, who was initially on the run, have been charged with destruction of evidence, providing misleading information to the police, conspiracy, and shielding the accused.

Deepak Khanna, Amit Khanna, Krishan, Manoj, and Mithun are currently under judicial custody, while Ashutosh and Ankush are out on bail.

“Based on the material and evidence collected during the investigation, to the best of capabilities, sufficient material has come on record to prosecute the accused,” the police said.

The Delhi Police recently invoked Section 302 (murder) of the Indian Penal Code in the case. It was initially registered for culpable homicide not amounting to murder and rash driving in a public way.
