Eyewitnesses had told that the accused kept dragging the dead body of the girl trapped in their vehicle for 18 to 20 kilometers and it lasted for about one and a half hours.
“It was 3:20 in the morning…I was standing outside the shop when I heard a loud noise from a vehicle about 100 meters away. At first I thought it was a tire burst. As the car moved on, I saw a dead body. Saw being dragged. I immediately informed the police,” Mr Dahiya told news agency ANI.
Mr. Dahiya had said that the accused kept driving repeatedly on the same road of about four to five kilometers by taking U-turns.
“I tried to stop them several times, but they did not stop the vehicle. For about one-and-a-half hours, they carried the girl’s body for about 20 km,” he said.

Police have said that the woman died after being hit by a scooty car and her body got trapped under the vehicle and was dragged for a long distance. The arrested accused have claimed that the windows of the car were rolled up and loud music was playing inside the car, so they did not notice it and when they came to know what had happened, they fled the spot.
The suspect car was traced and the five men were apprehended from their homes.
