Delhi woman dragged by car | court grants bail to 7th accused one day after surrender

Delhi's Rohini Court on Saturday granted bail to the seventh accused Ankush Khanna in the Kanjhawala death case. Ankush surrendered to the police on January 6.

Police had already arrested Deepak Khanna (26), Amit Khanna (25), Krishan (27), Mithun (26), and Manoj Mittal in the case. Later, they zeroed in on Ashutosh and Ankush Khanna and said they were involved in shielding the accused.

Ankush surrendered Friday evening at Sultanpuri police station while Ashutosh was nabbed from Budh Vihar area in northwest Delhi.

Ankush is accused Amit's brother. Amit does not have a driving licence and after he informed Ankush about the accident, the latter allegedly convinced Deepak, who is a Gramin Seva driver, to tell police that he was behind the wheel on the fateful day.

The accused persons causing the death of Anjali had allegedly borrowed the car from Ashutosh.

They said Ashutosh and Ankush were not in the car. Ashutosh also misled police by claiming that Deepak had taken the car from him when it was Amit who had taken it.

There were five men partying in the car. One of them, the friend of the four other men, de-boarded the vehicle before the incident took place. Deepak was at his home entire night when the incident happened.

He was called by one of the accused after the car hit Anjali, following which he brought his uncle's autorickshaw to take the accused to their residences, sources said.

Meanwhile, a Delhi court remanded Ashutosh in police custody for three days.
