The UT police today collected the footage of CCTV cameras installed outside showrooms at the Sector 26 market to identify the white Fortuner that sped away after hitting a youth, who was being reportedly chased by bouncers, resulting in his death.

The police said since the incident was reported from a slip road, there was a possibility that the SUV might have been captured in cameras installed at the market. The police said the footage of cameras installed in the club was also scrutinised to establish the chain of events. The victim, Pradeep, along with his friends Parshant and Anil, had come for a party at a club, ASOD, and the trio took liquor at the club.

Anil, in his statement to the police, alleged that they were thrashed by bouncers after which he was asked to leave from the rear gate, while Pradeep and Parshant were taken outside from the front gate. Pradeep was also thrashed outside the club and was chased by the bouncers following which he escaped towards the slip road and got hit by a white Fortuner that sped away towards the grain market chowk.
