Ghaziabad, Sept. 30 -- The Ghaziabad police on Monday registered a first information report (FIR) into an incident where some unidentified men in a car allegedly drove onto the Kavi Nagar Ramlila Ground and ran over shopkeepers sleeping on the roadside last week, officials said on Monday, adding that the prime suspect, an MTech student, 25, was arrested. Office bearers of Shri Dharmik Ramlila Samiti filed a police complaint stating that the incident from September 26 took place at 3.31am, and left three people severely injured. "It was a dark coloured I-20 car, and its driver and occupants could not be identified. The car initially asked the watchman to open the gate, which was not fully shut. When the watchman denied them entry, they crashed the car into the gate, and iron grilles got bent. Then, they crashed into a second gate and damaged it too. They seemed to be under the influence of alcohol," said Ajay Jain, vice-chairperson of the Ramlila association and also the complainant in the case. "Thereafter, the driver drove the car rashly and ran over several shopkeepers who were sleeping beside their shops. About 150-200 people gathered and few tried to chase the car, but the driver fled with the vehicle," Jain said. In the FIR, Jain said that the car ran over three shopkeepers, Madan Gopal alias Pintu, Vivek (single name), and Hiresh (single name), and injured them seriously. "One of them suffered severe injuries as the car ran him over from the middle portion of the body," Jain added. Following Jain's complaint, the Kavi Nagar police registered an FIR under the BNS sections 281 (rash and negligent driving on a public way), 125b (acts endangering life and personal safety of others), and 324(4) (causing mischief) against unidentified persons. Police officers said that the ongoing mela at the Kavi Nagar Ramlila ground shuts by 2am, and the incident happened during the wee hours. A purported CCTV video on social media shows that a car driven at slow speed runs over several people sleeping beside their shop. HT could not independently verify the video's authenticity. On Monday, police said they arrested one Ishan Singh, 25, a resident of Govindpuri in Meerut, in whose name the car was registered, and he was allegedly driving the car. "Ishan was with his three friends in the car. They had dinner at a restaurant near the Delhi-Meerut Expressway and the four later consumed liquor. Then, they came to the Ramlila Ground at Kavi Nagar," said ACP (Kavi Nagar circle) Suryabali Maurya. The suspect was arrested after the police traced the car's registration number, while his three friends will also be called for questioning, he further added....
