Initially, I liked to think it was a tyre burst. I noticed a body being dragged as soon as the car moved. I immediately informed the police.”

“After some time, Dahiya said around 3:30 a.m., the car made a U-turn, and the female’s dead body was still trapped beneath the vehicle. The accused took U-turns on the road for about 4-5 kilometers.”

Meanwhile he chased the car on his motorcycle, while talking to the police over the phone.
