After a woman was critically injured when she was hit by a speeding car in Palam Vihar in Gurugram, her family and local residents have alleged that “encroachments” on the roads have left pedestrians at greater risk.
The incident took place around 5.45 pm on June 29 when Rita Anand, 67, was crossing a narrow road in E Block of Palam Vihar about half a kilometre from her home. CCTV footage showed a white car knocking her down when she was halfway across the road. The car then sped away. Its driver was arrested on July 2.
