A 50-year-old woman was killed in Connaught Place after she was run over by an SUV being driven by a 20-year-old fashion student on Sunday night. Police said the victim was dragged by the vehicle for nearly 300 metres before they managed to stop the car.

The driver of the SUV — a black Jeep Compass — was arrested after she was stopped at a police picket nearly 300 metres from the accident spot. The victim was still underneath the vehicle when it was stopped, the police said.

Police said the driver was not under the influence of alcohol at the time of the arrest. They have identified the deceased woman only by her first name, Phoolwati. She lived in a night shelter near Bangla Sahib Gurdwara with her husband.

The girl named Shreya Agarwal has been granted bail and nothing is done by our judicial system for the poor old woman. Really need your efforts for the same and give justice to the old woman
