Faridabad teen girl's ‘joyride at over 100 kmph': SUV rams into police car, flings home guard off bridge
The Faridabad police Sunday arrested an 18-year-old after her speeding SUV allegedly hit a traffic police interceptor vehicle on the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway near the Badoli Bridge, injuring two police personnel and damaging equipment. A home guard was thrown off the bridge onto the service road approximately 25 feet below, said the police. The accident occurred around 8.15 am during a routine check and the police personnel were handing out challans to those overspending. According to the complaint filed by Traffic Constable Deepak, 25, the interceptor vehicle, a Maruti Suzuki Ertiga, was parked on the side of the expressway in accordance with the rules. Assistant Sub Inspector Narendra, 42, and Home Guard Deepak, 35, were also part of the team operating the interceptor when a green Mahindra Scorpio, driven by the accused, Kritika Garg, allegedly collided with the rear of their vehicle at high speed. Home Guard Deepak was flung off the bridge due to the impact of the collision, as per the complaint. The Scorpio's tyre burst after the collision, causing it to stop at the scene, and Garg provided her name and address when questioned, said the police. The impact severely damaged the interceptor's equipment, including an overspeed machine, laser DVR, battery monitor, printer, camera controller, and LED screen. Constable Deepak and Home Guard Deepak sustained serious injuries and were admitted to Sarvodaya Hospital. Home Guard Deepak's condition was critical, leading to his transfer to the intensive care unit, where doctors declared him unfit to give a statement. The complaint attributed the accident to Garg's negligent and high-speed driving, which, according to the police, obstructed government work. The police filed an FIR at the BPTP police station under sections 281, 125(A), 125(B), 324(4), 221, and 132 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), citing rash driving, causing hurt by negligence, mischief causing damage, obstructing a public servant, and assault to deter a public servant. 'The accused, Kritika Garg, stays in Sector 28 in Faridabad and was driving at over 100 km per hour when she lost control and hit the home guard. Constable Deepak also sustained injuries but is stable, while ASI Narender was treated for minor bruises. The accused was returning from a gaming parlour in Sector 12 and heading to Sector 86 with four of her friends on a joyride of sorts to celebrate clearing their Class 12 exams,' Station House Officer Inspector Arvind Kumar said. He added that she was released on station bail, and the car was registered in the name of her father, Manoj Kumar.

3 killed, 5 injured after car collision on NH-19 in Faridabad
Three men were killed and five others critically injured in a high-speed collision between two cars at JCB Chowk near Faridabad Sector 55 on National Highway 19 around 2am on Saturday, police said. The crash involved a Maruti Suzuki Ertiga with five occupants and an MG Hector carrying three siblings. The deceased, all of whom were traveling in the Ertiga, have been identified as Trivender Singh, 28, of Krishna Colony; Manish Kumar, 30, of Banchari; and Deepanshu Kumar, 25, of Bhaguri— all residents of Palwal. The five injured were Satpal Singh, 28, of Bathen, Mathura; Bhupender, 27, of Narhawali, Faridabad, travelling in the Ertiga; and siblings Sahil, Somya, and Anshika—all in their mid-20s and residents of Sector 16, Faridabad, who were in the Hector. While Satpal and Bhupender were undergoing treatment at a private hospital in Faridabad, the siblings were shifted to a Delhi hospital. All five are stated to be in critical condition, police said. Inspector Vinod Kumar Yadav, station house officer of Sector 58 police station, said the five Ertiga occupants were JCB India Limited employees returning home after a shift at the company's NH-19 headquarters. 'The Ertiga had barely moved 300 metres and was negotiating a right turn onto the highway when the speeding Hector rammed it on the driver's side,' said Yadav. 'Both vehicles overturned multiple times after the collision, and the Hector caught fire,' he added. Locals and passersby alerted the police control room and helped extricate the injured from the mangled vehicles. All eight victims were rushed to Badshah Khan Civil Hospital, where three were declared dead, police said. Police said Sahil was driving the Hector and was heading home to Sector 16 from Sikri, Ballabhgarh. Satpal was behind the wheel of the Ertiga and was driving towards Palwal. 'Prima facie, it appears that Hector was speeding and failed to slow down before the intersection, resulting in the crash,' said Yadav. The bodies of the deceased were handed over to their families after post-mortem examinations at the civil hospital. An FIR under sections 106 (causing death by negligence) and 281 (rash driving) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita was registered against Sahil at Sector 58 police station, based on Bhupender's statement, officers aware of the case said.
