NEW DELHI, Oct. 14 -- A five-year-old girl, who was playing outside her grandmother's house In West Delhi's Uttam Nagar, was allegedly killed after a recklessly driven e-rickshaw overturned and fell on her on Sunday afternoon, police said. The accused driver has been arrested. The victim was identified as Deepanshi Kumari, resident of a slum cluster in the area, and the accused as Murari Jha, a 39-year-old resident of Ranhola. The officer said they received a call at 4.30pm regarding an accident in which a minor girl sustained injuries. On reaching the spot, the police were informed that the girl had been taken to Deen Dayal Upadhyay Hospital. At the hospital, the victim's mother, Babita, 32, told police what happened. "She said that her daughter Deepanshi had gone to her maternal grandmother's house close to theirs and was playing right outside - in a congested lane - when the incident happened," the officer said. Eye-witnesses said the girl was playing in the street as two e-rickshaws were crossing. "They took a sharp cut and one of them hit the girl and fell on her. The e-rickshaw was coming from Kali Basti, towards Uttam Nagar. Locals caught hold of the driver and alerted her mother. She then took the child to the hospital where she was declared dead on arrival," the officer said. Jha was arrested from the spot and a case has been registered for rash and negligent driving and causing death by negligence. The e-rickshaw has been seized. "My little girl is gone because of a driver who didn't care to drive properly. These are such congested roads and rickshaws should not even be allowed to drive here as there is not even enough space to walk," said the victim's father, Vishal Kumar. The 33-year-old is a factory worker. This incident puts focus on the menace of e-rickshaws, which, according to Delhi Traffic Police data for this year (till September 15), have killed 24 people in 108 road accidents. In September, a 16-year-old girl died and three others, were injured after an e-rickshaw overturned at Paharganj Chowk, allegedly due to the driver's rash and negligent driving. In May, an eight-year-old girl was allegedly killed after she fell from an e-rickshaw in Harsh Vihar due to alleged rash driving by the 16-year-old driver. In the second incident, a five-year-old boy, from south Delhi's Sangam Vihar, was killed when his friend accidentally started an e-rickshaw parked on the side of lane Sunday. "An e-rickshaw was parked in the lane. It was accidentally started by a child resulting in the victim being run over and getting trapped underneath," the officer said....
