Delhi woman mows down elderly couple; says she was distracted

A Delhi woman on Sunday mowed down an elderly couple in the Dwarka region of the national capital, the police said on Tuesday. The woman, identified as Deepakshi Choudhary (28), claimed that she was distracted when the incident occurred. She has been booked for rash driving and causing death by negligence. A video of the incident has also surfaced on social media.

Incident
Elderly couple was out on evening stroll

On Sunday, a 79-year-old retired government official, Shanti Swaroop Arora, and his wife Anjana (62) were out on an evening stroll on the Masjid Wali Road in Sector 11, Dwarka, at around 6:30 pm. The couple was then hit by a Maruti Suzuki Baleno, being driven by Choudhary. The incident was captured on a CCTV camera of a nearby mosque.
