A speeding Hyundai Accent car smashed parked rickshaws on which their drivers were sleeping before it shot over the pavement and turned turtle after hitting an electricity pole. Altogether six people were injured, four of them seriously.
It is not known whether the car driver, Mohammad Mohsin, 23, was drunk but police said liquor bottles were found inside the car. Mohsin, a resident of Inderpuri, and the car's three other occupants fled the scene after the accident but police were able to trace him by the car's registration number. He was arrested on Saturday evening. People close to him told police that he had left home for a joyride with friends.
In a coincidence, all three accidents involving pavement dwellers occurred on Ring Road. Last Sunday, a drunk man had driven his Mahindra Quanto over 13 people sleeping on the pavement near Nigambodh Ghat, killing one on the spot. Three days later, a drunk driver ran his Tata Safari over four people sleeping on a pavement near Rajghat. One of them died later.
Saturday's accident occurred around 1am. The black Accent headed for Shastri Nagar came at a high speed from the Ashok Nagar-side, hit the rickshaws on the roadside and then climbed onto the pavement where it hit a pole and overturned. It dragged on under its own momentum for about 20 metres before stopping.
Police rushed to the spot immediately and took the six injured men to Bara Hindu Rao Hospital where two were discharged after first aid and four—Feroz, 72; Naseer Ahmed, 62; Aminullah, 49, and Tarun Sharma, 35—were admitted for treatment. They are rickshawpullers from Bihar and UP and have no relatives here.
Police said more people sleeping on the pavement would have been injured had the pole not broken the car's momentum. They hurriedly woke up and went away after the accident.
DCP (north) Madhur Verma said they have registered an FIR for attempt to commit culpable homicide under Section 308 of IPC in this case. Generally, police apply milder sections like "causing hurt" if the victims survive.
