"We could see that the victim had been brought to the hospital in a Range Rover by a young man," a police statement read.
The police checked the vehicle's registration number and found that the vehicle was registered in the name of a private company in West Delhi's Karol Bagh.
"On further investigation, the company's owner home address and that of the driver was found in Greater Kailash. Sonit Jain was arrested and the vehicle, Range Rover SUV, was also seized," a police statement read.

Quoting Jain the police said he reached the Badarpur flyover around 7.15 pm when a cyclist, Mr Awasthi, came in front of his car and was hit. The police said Jain told hospital authorities that the accident took place near Okhla Mandi because he did not want to disclose his Faridabad visit to his family.
