A shocking video captured on CCTV in Delhi’s iconic Connaught Place has emerged, depicting a harrowing incident where a Delhi Police officer was struck by an SUV and thrown into the air. The incident unfolded during the night of October 24 and 25 and has since garnered widespread attention.
The video, originally shared by news agency ANI and sourced from CCTV footage in the heart of the national capital, reveals the unsettling sequence of events. In the footage, the police officer can be seen standing in front of a traffic barricade next to a parked car. Suddenly, an SUV approaches and collides with the stationary car, causing the SUV to also strike the officer, propelling him into the air. The officer was subsequently found lying several feet away from the impact zone and was promptly transported to a nearby hospital for medical attention.
Following the incident, the driver of the SUV was taken into custody. The dramatic footage of the accident quickly went viral, prompting public concern about the potential severity of the accident. Remarkably, the incident occurred during a time when the road had limited vehicular traffic, and the SUV involved was not traveling at a significantly high speed.
The incident serves as a stark reminder of the risks and dangers that traffic personnel and law enforcement officers face while performing their duties on the city’s roads. The swift arrest of the SUV driver and the attention the incident has received underline the importance of road safety and adherence to traffic regulations, even during off-peak hours.
