Nidhi, the friend of 20-year-old Anjali who was killed in a hit and run case in the national capital, on Monday claimed that she was with the victim during the accident and alleged that the accused men also tried to run the car over her.

In an exclusive conversation with CNN-News18, she said she made a failed attempt to save her and she was scared to report the matter to the cops.

“I was hopeless. Victims was not known to the boys. Men did try to run the car over me also. The incident took place in between 2-3am. I tried to save her but did not succeed. The victim was shouting for help but the men dragged her along the car. I was scared to report the matter to the cops,” she said.

Nidhi came forward after the Delhi Police today revealed that the victim was accompanied by another woman on her scooty before the accident. A CCTV video from the night of the fatal accident also showed both women on the scooty.

The Delhi Police is trying to ascertain if the second woman was with the victim during the accident, or was dropped home beforehand. According to sources, police will be bringing in the second woman for questioning on Tuesday.

Nidhi further claimed that her phone was broken after accident and she cried for help but it went in vain. “They came from the front. I fell on the side and she got stuck in the front. She was screaming, but they didn’t take her out despite knowing. I was scared, hopeless; the car took her dragging.”

According to the FIR, the car involved in the accident was twice-borrowed and one of two accused— Deepak Khanna and Amit Khanna— were in inebriated state. The car belongs to Lokesh, a resident of Budh Vihar. Lokesh told the police that his brother-in-law Ashutosh has borrowed vehicle from him.
