Road rage: Delhi Police release sketch of three accused

Finding no headway in the murder case of 34-year-old Sushil Chauhan who was killed in an incident of road rage, the Delhi Police have released three sketches of the accused persons. The police have also pasted the sketches in various parts of the National Capital and have even alerted the neighbouring states as well.

As per the sketches out of the three accused two have cut marks on their faces, the other has a beard and moustache. The police also informed the public that the accused persons had a maroon scooty as well as a motorcycle. The sketch was made on the basis of the description provided by the five other occupants.

Earlier the police clarified that Chauhan, a 34-year-old businessman who was killed in an incident of road rage in Geeta Colony on Monday night was actually stabbed and not shot dead as was believed to be the case earlier.

The five other occupants of the car had also said in their statement to the police that they had not heard any gunshot. Police officials stated that the accused was stabbed by a knife in the thigh. The police had earlier also rounded up criminals in the area in order to gather information about the accused persons.

Initially, as per police information, the number of accused persons was unclear. However, with the release of the sketches, it can be easily said that they were at least three of them on two vehicles.

The post-mortem report revealed that Chauhan died due to excessive bleeding from a stab wound in his left thigh. Several teams have been formed to nab the accused person. In one of the footages derived from the CCTV, a man on a two-wheeler is seen near the spot of the incident. Police officials have rounded up some suspects as well.

The incident occurred barely 50 metres away from the police post and hardly 100 metres away from the Geeta Colony police station. According to the police, the deceased, identified as Sushil Chauhan (34) owned a cloth factory and would cut shirt pieces.

Chauhan had gone to Loni area along with his nephew Ashwini and his friend Kartik to attend an engagement ceremony. After stopping for dinner in Krishan Nagar with a couple of other friends, the group started driving towards Pushta Road in a car driven by Chauhan. While taking a right turn, they almost collided with a two-wheeler and an argument ensued between Chauhan and the suspect.

Chauhan told his friends that he was shot in the left thigh, though they did not hear a gunshot. He continued driving and collapsed near Geeta Colony. He was pronounced dead at the hospital.
