A Delhi court on Monday sent the six persons accused of being involved in the gruesome death of 20-year-old woman Anjali Singh in the city’s Kanjhawala area on January 1, to judicial custody for 14 days.
On New Year’s Day, Anjali Singh had died after her scooter was hit by a car. Her body got entangled in the wheels of the car and was dragged along for nearly 12 kilometres. Her naked body was later found in Kanjhawala’s Jonti village.
Seven suspects – Manoj Mittal, Deepak Khanna, Amit Khanna, Krishan, Mithun, Ashutosh and Ankush – were arrested in the case. Ankush was granted bail on Saturday.
Mittal is an active local leader of BJP.
The prosecution told Metropolitan Magistrate Sanya Dalal that police had found that the accused persons were aware of Singh’s body being dragged, reported PTI news agency.
The city police told the court that statements from 20 witnesses have been recorded in the case.
