Police registered a case, and multiple teams were formed to nab the accused. "Over 150 CCTV cameras were scanned, and a suspicious vehicle with a partially visible number plate was found near the Ghaziabad border," said the DCP.

Using AI tools and technical surveillance, the vehicle was traced to a logistics company in Gurugram. The accused, Kapil Kumar (31), had parked the cab near Shahdara Metro Station and switched off his phone to evade arrest, said the officer, adding that he was eventually traced to the Gautam Puri area and was arrested.

During interrogation, Kumar confessed that he had unintentionally hit the victim while driving his SUV cab.

"Instead of informing authorities, he panicked and placed the injured man in the vehicle. The victim died en route, and Kumar later dumped the body near a temple.

Further investigation is underway.
