Four men have been charged with murder in Delhi, India following a hit-and-drag incident on New Year’s Day that left a young woman dead after she was dragged for 13 km underneath a car. Amit Khanna, Krishna, Manoj Mittal and Mithun killed Anjali Singh, 20, in the most barbaric manner, the Delhi Police told a court on 31 January 2018. The men had many opportunities to save Anjali after hitting her on a road in Delhi’s Kanjhawala in the early hours of January 1, the police have said in a charge sheet submitted to the court. The four deliberately dragged the woman for several kilometres, knowing she was stuck in the car’s engine, the police told the court. Six witnesses have been listed in the charge sheet. The account of the woman’s friend, who was riding with her and fled after the accident, has been included in the charge sheet that cites witness accounts, CCTV camera footage and other evidence to establish that four men were in the car. Three other men have been arrested and accused of helping to cover up the crime.
