The woman, Anjali, died a painful death after her scooty was hit by a car following which she got stuck beneath the vehicle that went on to drag her for around 12 km.

The police had earlier arrested five persons, who were in the car when the incident took place. They have been identified as Deepak Khanna, Amit Khanna, Krishan, Mitthu and Manoj Mittal.

Amit (25) works with SBI Cards in Uttam Nagar, Krishan (27) works at the Spanish Culture Centre, Mitthu (26) is a hairdresser at Naraina, while Manoj Mittal (27) is a ration dealer in Sultanpuri who is also a BJP worker.

They were brought to the court amidst high security to avoid any untoward incidents.

The trial court on January 2 sent all accused to a three-day police remand, which ended on Thursday.

The incident took place on the intervening night of Saturday and Sunday after the victim’s scooty was hit by the car and her clothes had gotten entangled in one of the wheels, which led to her being dragged.

The tight security was maintained as, in November last year, a police van carrying Aaftab Amin Poonawala, who is accused of the ghastly murder of his live-in partner Shraddha Walkar in Delhi’s Mehrauli area, was attacked by a group of men armed with swords outside the Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) in Rohini when he was being taken back to Tihar jail after a polygraph test.
