New Delhi Three killed in crash while chasing rowdies creating trouble outside apartments at night

Three men lost their lives in an accident on Thursday morning after they gave chase to a group of troublemakers who had created a ruckus outside their apartment in Rohini.Three others were seriously injured.

Police said the men were chasing the Alto car, driven by the offenders, when they crashed into a truck near Aman Vihar of Outer Delhi.

The deceased have been identified as Kuldeep Singh (42), Parvaiz Tomar (47) and Naveen (40). Singh, a property dealer, was the president of Akash Ganga Apartments Society in Sector 24, while Tomar was the general secretary of the society and a manager with Punjab National Bank. Naveen owned a factory in the neighbourhood.

Eyewitnesses said four men, reportedly in an inebriated condition, stopped their car around 12.15 am outside Akash Ganga Apartments and started shouting obscenities.

“Residents of the housing society asked them to leave, but they only got more rowdy. Kuldeep Singh tried to calm them down, but they started beating him up. By this time, many residents had come out and someone called the police. The four accused then got into their Alto and fled,” said Ram Niwas Solanki, who lives in Akash Ganga.

Another neighbour Pramod Rana — critically injured — with five others then chased the Alto in his Hyundai Verna car (UP-17C-7777).

A senior police officer said: “Rana took the wrong side of the road. At the Kanjhawla Junction, barely 100 metres from Aman Vihar police station, a truck ran over it, crushing the people inside. The driver failed to see the car and Rana could not stop as he was speeding.”

The truck driver then called the police and the victims were rushed to Jaipur Golden Hospital in Rohini, where Singh, Tomar and Naveen were declared dead on arrival. Rana is stated to be critical, while the other two, identified as Ajay Vishwas (36) and Lal Mani (40) were better by evening. Police said Rana was not drunk.

Kuldeep Singh’s eldest daughter, Nitin said, “I know my father only tried to do the right thing. I don’t know what we will do. I am in my second year in B.Com and my siblings are younger than me.”

Deceased Tomar is survived by his wife and three children, while Naveen’s relatives are in his hometown in Uttar Pradesh.

A neighbour, Hitesh Kumar, said, “They were chasing the Alto to hand over the miscreants to the police.” Police said they had recovered Rana’s licensed pistol from the car. Police are now investigating whether the victims had plans of attacking the miscreants. Police are also investigating whether there was any tiff between the victims and the miscreants. The Alto has also not been traced. “We have impounded the truck and the severely damaged car. A case of death due to rash and negligent driving has been registered against unknown people. The truck driver has not been booked because prima facie it looks like it was not his fault,” a senior police official said.

Deadly chase by Karan on 06 Mar 2009

Mr. Ahuja, the biggest blunder that happened to the mankind is "Religion" and associated to that are the respective GODS! Well there has always been a group of elites who have manipulated the mankind. This is going on since the Humans exist on earth. There has always been a group of people who have manipulated the entire population with theories that are made for their own benefits. Have a look in the past and present with examples such as Mussoloni, Hitler, Saddam, George Bush, Taliban, Rockefeller, Rothchild, Pak-govt, BJP-Shivsena, Thackerey etc etc. The list is endless. These group of people(Lets call elites) have/had the power to spread evil in the people for their own benefits. The religion Bullshit and the gods/demons associated are just fake. The theory of religion was made by some elites for their own benefits. It is difficult to write and explain what I mean in this short letter but please look beyond and search for truth and I am sure you will find it.. The world would have been such a great place to live when there wouldnt have been religion and gods...Karan
