Sharma died from his injuries and a post-mortem was done at Deendayal Hospital. Police have seized the Thar and started a hit-and-run investigation.
This case follows other recent Mahindra Thar accidents in the Delhi-NCR region, including a deadly crash in Gurugram last month and a dramatic, but non-fatal, showroom mishap in Delhi last month.
