New Delhi: A radio jockey (RJ) has been arrested in a hit and run case in which a Lok Janshakti Party (LJP) worker died last week, the police said on Saturday. According to the police, FM channel Radio City RJ Ankit Gulati’s speeding SUV had rammed into LJP worker Dheeraj Kumar’s bike at Windsor Place on Raisina Road early on June 30, leaving him badly injured. Kumar was rushed to Dr Ram Manohar Lohia (RML) Hospital but was declared dead on arrival. Gulati reportedly fled the spot. His car’s broken mudguard led the Delhi Police to arrest him on Friday night.
The police identified the mudguard, the only piece of evidence available, as that of a Hyundai Creta. Records showed that of the 22,000 cars of the model running in the country, 2,677 were registered in the Delhi-National Capital Region (NCR). The search narrowed down to 313 vehicles as the barcode on the mudguard showed it was a black-coloured 2018 model. After scanning through the records, the registration number was identified to be DL 9CU 5656.
