Overview

  • Police say the July 3 collision that killed 45-year-old court clerk Neeraj Sharma was a staged murder not an accident, with a Scorpio SUV deliberately ramming her at high speed.
  • Investigators traced CCTV footage and mobile-location data to identify and seize the SUV believed used in the attack and then arrested seven suspects, including the victim’s 23-year-old daughter Ayushi Sharma.
  • Police allege Ayushi conspired with relatives, paid contract attackers about Rs 7 lakh, ran prior surveillance and attempted an earlier failed hit using a rented Thar before the fatal strike.
  • Officials say Ayushi told investigators she wanted her late father’s compassionate government job and control of family property, while one key accused, Balram alias Ravi, remains absconding.
  • The case highlights how wide CCTV coverage, vehicle forensics and phone tracking can turn apparent road accidents into criminal probes and will move next into formal charges and cross-district inquiries.
