According to the police, the accused has been identified as Vijay alias Lale, a resident of Rangpuri, and the SUV allegedly used in the crime has been seized.

The incident took place on Sunday evening when the victim, Rajiv Kumar, who works as a security guard, was "intentionally" hit by the vehicle.
