JAMMU: A local court in Jammu on Wednesday remanded in police custody an SUV driver — accused in an attempted murder case — for six days.
This came three days after a rashly driven SUV hit a 68-year-old scooter driver in Jammu’s Gandhinagar on July 27, reversed and rammed the scooterist again in an apparent deliberate act captured on CCTVs, landing the seriously injured victim in ICU and triggering a manhunt for the culprit amid outrage and viral videos.
The accused, Manan Anand, was arrested Wednesday and produced in court, which remanded him in police custody. He has been booked under BNS Sections 281 (rash driving), 109 (attempt to murder) and 125(a) (endangering human life). The court directed police to produce Anand before a competent court before the expiry of the remand period, and instructed that he be medically examined every 24 hours.
On Thursday, the family of the injured, Kamal Dutta, moved him from GMC Jammu to Fortis Hospital in Punjab for specialised treatment, after his condition began deteriorating.
The vehicle was impounded, and Jammu RTO cancelled its registration.
