Delhi: Returning from CP laser show, man and son mowed down by SUV, driver on the run

Family members of the victims said Kishore, who lived with his relatives in Nepal, had come to the capital a week ago to visit his parents during Diwali.

“Kishore was excited about the laser show, and asked his father to take him there. They left the house around 9 pm, accompanied by friends. Heera called me after he dropped his friends… I was waiting for them at home when police informed me about the accident,” said Reena (35), Heera’s wife.

A case was registered at IP Estate police station. A senior police officer said, “We received a call around 12.30 am about the incident from the hospital. The victims had succumbed to their injuries after the car hit them. A damaged bicycle and a piece of the car’s licence plate were recovered from the spot. We have identified the car and its owner, and will soon make an arrest. We are yet to identify the person driving the car.”

The family had been living in the Railway Colony, near the BJP headquarters at Barakhamba Road, for the past 10 years. Heera worked at a car wash company. “Kishore was living with his uncle in Nepal for many years. We were trying to get him admitted to a school in Delhi next year,” said Reena.
