Mercedes hits 3 near Delhi mall, one dead
Early on Sunday morning, a Mercedes car hit three people near a big mall in Delhi.
The three people were workers at a restaurant in the mall.
One of them, a 23-year-old named Rohit, sadly died.
The other two, Kapil and Lalit, are in the hospital getting treated.
Kapil is in serious condition and is in the ICU.
The driver of the car, a 29-year-old man named Shivam, was taken into custody by the police.
The police think the car crashed because it hit a divider and a pole, and then veered towards where the three people were waiting for an auto-rickshaw.
The car belongs to a friend of Shivam.
The police are still looking into what happened.
Rohit's family said that the car was going very fast and that Rohit was the only person supporting his family.
They are very sad and upset.
A Mercedes G63 rammed into three restaurant employees near Ambience Mall in Delhi's Vasant Kunj at 2:33 AM on Sunday.
One of the victims, 23-year-old Rohit from Uttarakhand, was declared dead, while the other two, Kapil and Lalit, are undergoing treatment.
The driver, 29-year-old Shivam from Karol Bagh, was detained by the police and was reportedly returning home after attending a wedding.
Preliminary inquiry suggests the vehicle lost control, hit a divider and a pole, and then crashed into an auto stand where the victims were standing.
The car is registered in the name of Abhishek, a friend of the accused, and legal action is being taken.
