Early morning merriment goes horribly wrong for trio

NEW DELHI: 15 days ago, Samarth Chugh and his friends Bhavya Rajpal and Ujwal Goel had patched up after a bitter fight.

The three commerce students had to appear for their Entrepreneurship exam, the final paper before the long awaited holidays.

After Ujwal managed to get his father’s Silver Hyundai i20 car, the three sneaked out of his house early in the morning and to make a Snapchat story.

The boys wanted to document their trip and take photographs in front of the school and share it with their friends.

30 minutes after they left Model Town, Samarth was at the wheels of the car and two homeless people came under it.

His friends deserted him and fled the car, while a confused Samarth tried to reverse the car, crushing the man’s jaw and killing him in the process.

“He just stood shocked and could not move from the spot. His friends had left him while he looked on. He was still in a state of shock when the police finally managed to apprehend him,” said a highly placed police source.

At Kashmere Gate police station, the relatives of Ujwal and Bhavya had gathered.

They told Millennium Post that the boys had informed the family before taking the car and had run over the pavement dwellers because of a punctured tyre.

“They used to have a routine wherein they would study late in the night and then go out in the morning for a ride. They would usually visit a local Gurudwara to have their breakfast and would return by 8 am,” said a relative.

However, students who knew Samarth have told

Millennium Post that the trio would sneak out regularly and were on their way to school for a Snapchat story.

“They had all left to make a snap chat story. They wanted to take pictures in front of the school early in the morning and had planned to upload them,” said Vishal (name changed), a student of DPS Mathura Road.

To further complicate the case, Samarth has claimed that he had medical problems and used to have fits.

Even Vishal testified to the fact that Samarth would often have fits.

However, it is still not clear as to why he was allowed to drive the car despite his alleged medical condition.

“He informed us about his medical condition the minute we arrested him. We have to undertake a medical test to verify his claims,” said DCP (North), Jatin Narwal.
