The Delhi Police have found cocaine, LSD and other drugs stashed in the Thar that mowed down two people in the Chanakyapuri area of the national capital on August 10.
According to the details, the accused was identified as 26-year-old Ashish Bachchasa drug addict and a supplier, a resident of East Delhi’s Shakarpur. He was arrested on the spot.
His medical examination later confirmed that he was driving under the influence when the accident happened.
Commenting on the recovery of the drugs, the police said commercial quantities of cocaine (0.30 gm), LSD (2.6 gm), MD (23.47 gm), cannabis (21.26 gm), charas (4.17 gm ), tobacco (15.49 gm), Rs 25,000 cash, and a mobile phone were found in the car.
The accident occurred around 6.30 am near Gate Number 3 of Talkatora Stadium. One of the victims was identified as Sujesh Kshetrihailing from Sikkim, while the other is yet to be identified.
Both were rushed to the AIIMS Trauma Centre, where one was declared brought dead and the other, who was undergoing treatment, succumbed to injuries later in the day, a senior police officer said.
A PCR call was made from a passerby who informed police about the accident. Officers found the two men lying unconscious and bleeding, while the SUV’s bonnet was crumpled from the impact with the pole that it crashed into, Deputy Commissioner of Police (New Delhi) Devesh Juice told news agency PTI.
He said that an empty liquor bottle was also recovered from inside the vehicle.
Preliminary investigation suggests that Bachchaswho was unemployed and previously worked as a driver, celebrated Raksha Bandhan with his family in Shakarpur and left for Gurugram on Saturday night.
He was returning home when the accident took place, he added.
“On August 1, the driver’s vehicle was fined for speeding. We found that there is an unpaid fine of Rs 2,000 against the vehicle,” the police source said.
