Hit and Drag Case: Delhi Police suspends 11 cops on duty in PCR vans, at pickets

The Delhi Police on Friday suspended 11 personnel who were on PCR and picket duty on the route at which a 20-year-old woman was killed after being hit and dragged under a car from Sultanpuri to Kanjhawala.

The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) had on Thursday directed Delhi Police to suspend all its personnel deployed on the route following a report into the accident submitted by an inquiry committee headed by Special Commissioner Shalini Singh.

"As approved by the competent authority, a total of 11 policemen of Rohini district deployed on the route at PCRs and pickets have been suspended in view of the Sultanpuri incident," PTI quoted a senior police officer as saying.

Anjali Singh was killed in the early hours of the New Year after her scooter was hit by a car which dragged her for 12 kms.

Police have arrested seven people in connection with the accident.
