The driver of the black SUV kept speeding after the pillion rider was flung after the car hit it, critically injuring the man.
These chilling details emerged on Wednesday after a short video recorded by the prime witness in the case, a scooter rider who was allegedly chasing the speeding car in an attempt to stop it, appeared to show the deceased being driven on the roof of the Mahindra XUV500. The car bore a Noida registration number.
HT has seen the clip but could not independently verify its authenticity.
The driver, Harneet Singh Chawla (age not known), who is a Burari-based property dealer, was arrested hours after the accident took place on Sunday at around 12.55am at the KG Marg-Tolstoy Marg traffic junction. He was booked for murder in a case lodged at the Barakhamba police station, officers said.
In his statement to the police, Mohammad Bilal, who could be heard honking in the video, alleged that Chawla did not stop the car despite knowing that the deceased, identified as 30-year-old Deepanshu Verma, was on the roof.
