A video shot to capture a casual drive in Delhi and used as a reel for social media has now become key evidence in a fatal crash that killed23-year-old Sahil Dhaneshraon a road in Dwarka. The video recorded inside the Scorpio SUV that hit Sahil on February 3 reveals chilling details of the moments leading up to the collision. Recorded by a young woman seated next to the driver, the clip shows a teenage boy behind the wheel, allegedly driving at high speed on a narrow road without a divider.
The young woman was reportedly sister of the teen driver. In the clip, the SUV can be seen swerving and narrowly missing a bus before continuing forward at speed. Seconds later, Sahil’s motorcycle appears in the frame. He is seen attempting to overtake the same bus from the opposite direction when the SUV rams into him head on.
However, the exact moment of the crash is not visible in the version circulating online, with Sahil’s mother, who shared the reel publicly, claiming the footage had been trimmed and that the portion showing the actual moment of the crash was cut from the video.
On February 3, the police filed a case at Dwarka South Police Station under sections 281 (rash driving), 106(1) (causing death by negligence) and 125(a) (act endangering life or personal safety of others) of the BNS. The same day around 11.57 am a fatal accident was reported to have happened near Lal Bahadur Shastri College.
The police at the spot found an SUV, a car and a motorcycle in an accidental condition. The motorcycle rider, later identified as Sahil Dhaneshra, was found dead at the spot.
