Kanjhawala hit-and-drag case: Police add murder section based on evidence

In a significant milestone in the Kanjhawala hit-and-run case, the Delhi Police said on Tuesday that section 302 (murder) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) has been added to the case.

While section 304 of the IPC is applied in situations of ‘culpable homicide not amounting to murder’, section 302 of IPC is invoked for ‘murder’. “After the collection of evidence, Police have added IPC section 302 in place of section 304,” Sagar Preet Hooda, special CP, Law & Order (Zone II, Delhi) said.

He stated that the choice to include the murder part was based on physical, oral, forensic, and other scientific evidence gathered thus far.
The situation is being investigated further, according to authorities.

The lawsuit concerns the January 1 event in which Anjali Singh, 20, was found dead on the street after being hit and dragged for many kilometers by a car driven by five youngsters in Outer Delhi’s Kanjhawala area.
