Overview
- CCTV footage reviewed by police shows an occupant exit an SUV, assault 60-year-old watchman Bijender Bharadwaj and the vehicle then run him over multiple times before fleeing.
- Investigators upgraded the case to murder and registered it under Sections 103(1) and 3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita after forensic teams found skid marks and collected technical evidence at the scene.
- Police say they have apprehended four suspects—two adults arrested and two juveniles held for questioning—after scanning corridor CCTV and tracing the SUV’s movement toward Hiran Kudna near the Delhi–Haryana border.
- Authorities are probing several possible motives, including a past verbal spat between the parties, a parking dispute at the tempo stand and an attempted theft, and interrogations continue before formal charges are finalised.
- The case highlights how dense CCTV coverage and vehicle forensics can reconstruct street crimes and has raised local outrage over the safety of informal night workers and alleged lapses in the initial police response.
