Accused Sahil arrested
As the video went viral, the Bengaluru cops swung into action and apprehended the scooter rider. He has been identified as 25-year-old Sahil.
The victim has been identified as 71-year-old Muttappa, a resident of Vijayapur district. He is currently undergoing treatment at hospital.
In Delhi’s Kanjhawala case, a 20-year-old girl was brutally dragged to death for 12 kms, under the wheels of a SUV car.
The horrific incident followed by police apathy led to huge public outrage. Victim’s body was found with her skin ripped off and skin peeled off. Later, the post-mortem report corroborated the cold-blooded death. It showed that
Anjali’s skull had fractured and her brain matter ‘leaked’ due to repeated dragging. A total of 7 people were arrested in the hit-and-run case.
