The Delhi police on Thursday revealed the first picture of accused Apurv Singh in the hit-and-run case that killed Sarthak Mattoo in South Delhi’s Vasant Kunj.
For the Mattoos of Gurugram, life took a cruel turn on June 25.
Their only son, who was days away from his 34th birthday, was travelling to work on his bike when a speeding Thar took a sudden turn and rammed into him in South Delhi’s Vasant Kunj. Sarthak Mattoo bled on the road while the Thar sped away, leaving him to die.
A passerby informed the police and called one of Sarthak’s colleagues from his unlocked phone. Sarthak was rushed to the Indian Spinal Injuries Centre, where doctors declared him dead.
Investigation revealed that the Thar was registered in the name of a Bengaluru-based private company and was leased to Sagar Saha (29), a native of Bihar who worked for the firm. Saha was interrogated and told the police that the SUV was being driven by his friend, Apurv Singh (30), at the time, while he was in the passenger seat. Singh was arrested two days later.
