The Story in Brief
A 60-year-old watchman, Bijender Bharadwaj, was beaten with a stick and then deliberately run over twice by an SUV driver in Peeragarhi village, outer Delhi, early Sunday. Police say CCTV shows the SUV waiting with headlights on before a man stepped out, attacked the victim without apparent provocation, then ran him over twice as he tried to flee. The victim was declared dead on arrival at hospital.
No eyewitnesses have been found, and the vehicle's number plate is not visible in the footage. Police have registered a murder case under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and are scanning CCTV from nearby roads and intersections to trace the SUV. The victim's nephew said his uncle had no enmity with anyone. Multiple police teams are working to identify the driver and the vehicle's owner.
The Indian Opinion
The narrative will predictably pivot to 'crime against the poor' without waiting for the motive. But CCTV shows the SUV waited with lights on, then pursued the victim for three minutes. This was not a random road rage. Was it a property dispute at the tempo stand, or an old personal score? Until police trace the vehicle's registration number, the key missing piece, speculation helps no one. The real test is simple: who owned that SUV, and what was their connection to Bijender Bharadwaj?
