In a tragic road incident in South Delhi, Sameer Singh, a 45-year-old rickshaw-puller, died after being injured in a hit-and-run earlier this month, police reported. Despite two weeks of medical treatment, Singh succumbed to his injuries, marking a somber outcome to a troubling case.
The incident unfolded around 3:45 am on July 6, while Singh, a Kotla Mubarakpur resident, was en route to Okhla mandi in his rickshaw. An unidentified, speeding vehicle reportedly struck him, and its driver fled the scene.
Although authorities received a prompt PCR call and raced to the scene, Singh was already transported to AIIMS Trauma Centre with severe injuries. Lack of CCTV footage has hindered vehicle identification, but a case has been registered with ongoing investigations by the police.
