A woman, aged 48 and employed as a housekeeper, lost her life after being struck by a speeding BMW in Delhi's Mehram Nagar region on Tuesday. The victim, identified as Jaiwanti, was crossing a zebra crossing to head to lunch when the incident occurred. The car's severe impact resulted in her death at the scene, according to police.
A case has been initiated, and legal proceedings have begun against the driver, identified as Deepak, a 38-year-old resident of Pratap Nagar in Mandoli. Deepak has been apprehended, and an investigation is underway.
In response to the tragedy, locals and their family members blocked the road, causing significant traffic disruption. Police, including paramilitary forces, were deployed to restore order. A police radio call reported the accident, and Jaiwanti was confirmed dead at DDU Hospital.
The incident occurred opposite Police Colony, affecting traffic near Terminal-3 of IGI Airport and surrounding areas. The road between NSG Red Light and T-3 is currently closed due to obstruction by villagers. Commuters traveling from Mahipalpur towards T-3 are advised to use an alternate route via NH-48 at Mahipalpur, with traffic being diverted at Dhaula Kuan cut to manage the flow of vehicles.
