What Seemed Like a Simple Fall Turns Out to Be Hit-and-Run: Eyewitness Reveals Truth

New Delhi: A road accident in Vivek Vihar, Shahdara, initially thought to be a simple fall resulting in death, has been revealed as a hit-and-run case, thanks to an eyewitness account.

The incident involved a 60-year-old woman, Uma, a domestic helper from Jhilmil Colony, who was struck by two young men riding a motorcycle on the evening of January 25, 2026, around 7:30 PM. Following the collision, the bikers transported her to ESIC Hospital in an e-rickshaw due to her critical condition but fled before further medical intervention. She was subsequently referred to GTB Hospital, where she succumbed to her injuries on January 28.

Eyewitness Account Changes the Story
Initially, Uma’s family and hospital staff believed the woman had merely fallen, and the police were treating it as a regular accident. However, an eyewitness, Krish Sagar, who runs a coffee stall near Dosa Factory in Vivek Vihar, reported that the woman was deliberately hit by a speeding motorcycle with two riders. According to Sagar, under public pressure, the bikers transported her to the hospital but later fled the scene with their motorcycle.

Based on this statement, Vivek Vihar Police have registered a case under Sections 281 (negligent driving) and 106 (causing death by negligence) of the BNS. Authorities are now reviewing CCTV footage and gathering further eyewitness accounts to track down the accused.
Cyber Fraud in East Delhi: ‘Franchise Offer’ Turns Out to Be Scam

Delhi continues to see a rise in cyber fraud cases. In a recent incident from Shakarpur, East Delhi, a 46-year-old resident fell victim to a fraudulent scheme promising a franchise of a reputed company.

According to police, the victim filled an online franchise form on March 15, 2025. Soon after, he received calls from individuals claiming to be employees of Tata 1MG. Using official-looking emails (care@tatalnigstockiststore.com) and fake agreements, the scammers convinced the victim to deposit ₹55,000 as a ‘security deposit’ into a Bank of Maharashtra account. They then demanded an additional ₹1,53,800.

Suspecting foul play, the victim visited the company’s Gurgaon office and discovered that no such employee or franchise program existed. Realizing he had been scammed via fake invoices and agreements, he filed a police complaint, leading to registration of a fraud case on January 29, 2026.
