A relative of Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Virbhadra Singh, Akansh Sen, who was allegedly hit by a BMW car on early Thursday morning, succumbed to his injuries in PGI Chandigarh on Friday where he was admitted in a critical condition.
Even after nearly 60 hours, the Chandigarh police not only failed to arrest the two accused, but also clueless about the car which was allegedly used to hit Akansh.
"This is a high profile case and the accused have also been identified. The manner in which the police are working is deplorable. We demand that a SIT be constituted to probe the matter as it is not a simple road accident but an intentional hit-and-run case," Virbhadra Singh's son Vikrmaditya Singh told India Today.
It is worth mentioning here that Akansh Sen is the son of Pratibha Singh's brother who owned a restaurant in Sector 9 of Chandigarh.
According to the family sources, an altercation took place between the friends of Akansh and the accused Balraj Singh Randhawa and Har Mehtab Singh Gill who were partying in the restaurant on Thursday.
Sources said Akansh left the restaurant and outside a home in Sector 9, the accused Balraj Singh Randhawa , allegedly hit him with his BMW car and fled from the scene. Another accused Har Mehtab Singh Gill also accompanied him.
The police officials refuted the allegations of protecting the accused and said teams have been sent to nab both the accused involved in the hit-and-run case.
"The incident took place on Thursday morning. The accused were drinking in a party. SIT has already been formed. Police teams have been sent to arrest the accused," Inspector Poonam Dilawari said.
The accused Balraj Singh Randhawa and Har Mehtab Singh Gill belong to the influential political families. Har Mehtab Singh Gill is the great grandson of a former Punjab minister.
