People ran helter-skelter in posh Model Town area of North west Delhi after a rashly driven Hundai Verna plunge into a crowd on Sunday night. They were lucky enough to have escaped while one of them sustained minor injuries.
A police official said a case has been registered after a video was posted on social media purportedly showing a Sedan car speeding through the crowd on a busy road Old Gupta Colony of Model Town on Sunday night.
The video showed a car ramming into a crowd in northwest Delhi's Model Town. The victim, Kamal, was admitted to a nearby hospital and discharged after treatment. The driver is yet to be identified, the police said.
