Hauz Khas Hit-and-Run Investigation Underway
Earlier, two youths rammed into a young woman riding a motorcycle in Hauz Khas on the night of September 11-12, Delhi Police said.
According to Delhi Police, a complaint was lodged three or four days after the incident, based on which an FIR was registered under relevant sections. Police also examined CCTV footage from adjoining areas to verify the occurrence; however, the incident could not be traced in the available footage.
On September 14, 2026, the complainant’s cousin sister reviewed the camera footage at the police station but was unable to identify either the victim or the alleged perpetrators.
