A man has been apprehended for allegedly causing a hit-and-run accident that left two men injured in central Delhi's Paharganj area. Authorities have confiscated his blood-stained vehicle, an official reported on Tuesday.

On September 14, around 2:20 am, the incident occurred near the Rail Reservation Centre on Chelmsford Road, where victims Kalu Das, 50, and Anil Das, 48, from Bihar's Banka district, were found injured and subsequently admitted to Lady Hardinge Medical College Hospital, according to Deputy Commissioner of Police (Central) Nidhin Valsan.
