New Delhi: A man sleeping on a pavement in Delhi was killed and three were injured early this morning after being hit by a speeding car driven by a class 12 student of Delhi Public School or DPS. The driver, Samarth Chugh, who turned 18 last month, has been arrested and sent to police custody till May 4. He was allegedly driving without a licence.
The accident took place around 5.30 am at ISBT, a busy bus terminal in north Delhi's Kashmere Gate. The police say Samarth and his two friends, all from DPS Mathura Road, were out celebrating after finishing class 12 board exams.
Samarth's friends ran away but later turned themselves in. The teens have told the police that they had taken the car for a ride after a group study session and were on their way to school.
