Investigators found drugs in SUV that mowed down two in Chankyapuri

The Delhi Police on Monday said the speeding Thar that mowed down two people in the Chanakyapuri area here a day earlier, was found stashed with cocaine, LSD and other drugs.

The accident occurred around 6.30 am on Sunday near Gate Number 3 of Talkatora Stadium. One of the victims was identified as Sujesh Kshetri, hailing from Sikkim, while the other is yet to be identified.

Both were rushed to the AIIMS Trauma Centre, where one was declared brought dead and the other, who was undergoing treatment, succumbed to injuries later in the day, a senior police official said.

A PCR call was made from a passerby who informed police about the accident. Officers found the two men lying unconscious and bleeding, while the SUV’s bonnet was crumpled from the impact with the pole that it crashed into, Deputy Commissioner of Police (New Delhi) Devesh Mahla said.
