Kolkata Audi hit-and-run : Second arrest in Delhi
New Delhi, Jan 18 (IBNS) Police have made the second arrest in connection with the death of an Indian Air Force personnel, who was knocked down by a speeding car during a Republic Day parade practice in Kolkata.
Reports said police arrested Shahnawaz Khan in Delhi. He is a friend of Sambia Khan, who allegedly drove the Audi Q7 SUV on January 13 and hit the 21-year-old Air Force corporal Abhimanyu Gaud. Khan was with Sambia when the accident took place, the police say.
Sambai was arrested in Kolkata on January 16. A third person also believed to be in the car is missing.
Sambia's father Mohammad Sohrab, a former lawmaker, was reported to be a leader of the Trinamool, but the party has denied this.
In a statement on Sunday, the party said Sambia Sohrab "had no connection with the Trinamool Congress" and "neither he nor his father had ever attended party meetings". "We have nothing to do with them and have never had anything to do with them," the party said.
Sambia's friends Sanu and Johny have told police the 26-year-old was with them just before the accident and was driving drunk. They claimed that when they tried to stop him, he fought with them and drove off.
Mohammad Sohrab and his younger son Ambiya have been missing since the accident. Since Thursday, the police have raided more than a dozen places to look for them.
