30-year-old police constable Sandeep is survived by his mother, wife and a five-year-old son.
In what appears to be a road rage case, a 30-year-old police constable died of head injuries after a car dragged him through the road in Delhi's Nangloi area late last night.
The cop, Sandeep, was in civil clothes and was out on duty to investigate what was behind the sharp rise in theft cases in the area. He was on his bike when a WagonR car tried to overtake him. The four-wheeler was being driven rashly and the cop asked the driver to slow down. Suddenly, the car's speed increased and it hit Sandeep's bike from behind. The motorcycle and the cop were dragged for about 10 metres. Sandeep was rushed to a nearby hospital and then referred to another hospital. He was later declared dead.
A CCTV camera in the area has captured the incident. The cop is seen gesturing to the car driver to slow down. But the car picks up speed and hits him.
