NEW DELHI, Feb 07: Delhi Police arrested a subcontractor on allegedly failing to alert the authorities regarding a biker falling into a pit dug by the Delhi Jal Board in Janakpuri.
Deputy Commissioner of Police (West) Darade Sharad Bhaskar said that, as per the investigation, Rajesh Kumar Prajapati knew that someone had fallen into the pit, hours before the matter came to the police’s notice.
According to police, an eyewitness, Vipin Singh, who was returning home to Sagarpur after attending a wedding, saw that a motorcycle had fallen into the ditch and informed a security guard at a nearby garage.
The guard then alerted a labourer, who looked into the ditch and noticed that the motorcycle’s headlight was on and a human figure was visible inside,” the officer said.
Call detail records showed that he informed Prajapati about the incident at around 12:22 a.m., following which the subcontractor reached the spot within 15-20 minutes, police said.
However, Prajapati neither informed the police nor any emergency authority at that time. Information about the incident reached police only the next morning at around 8 a.m., Mr. Bhaskar said.
