A group of family members assembled outside the Jahangirpuri police station in Delhi on Saturday, voicing their frustration over a hit‑and‑run death that occurred roughly thirty days earlier. The protesters held placards and chanted slogans calling for a thorough investigation and prompt arrest of the driver responsible for the fatal collision.
According to the family, the victim was struck by a vehicle that fled the scene, leaving no immediate witnesses or evidence. They allege that the police response has been slow, prompting the decision to stage a public demonstration to draw attention to the case.
Police officials present at the station acknowledged the protest but declined to comment on the specifics of the investigation, stating that procedural steps were being followed. The family reiterated their demand for transparency and swift legal action, warning that they would continue to press for justice if the matter is not resolved promptly.
The incident has sparked broader concerns among local residents about road safety and the handling of hit‑and‑run cases in the capital, with community groups urging authorities to strengthen enforcement and victim support mechanisms.
