Summary

A 45-year-old auto-rickshaw driver, Mohammad Kalam, was killed and another man, Mohammad Bablu, injured after a speeding car crashed into an auto-rickshaw and cycle rickshaw near Sukhdev Vihar Metro Station in southeast Delhi on Saturday, September 26, 2026, around 7 a.m. Multiple eyewitnesses reported that two cars were allegedly racing before the collision. The car's driver, identified as Mohammad Talib (age 21 in one report), fled the scene with three to four occupants but was arrested later that day. Kalam was taken to Escorts Hospital where he was declared dead; his body was sent to AIIMS for post-mortem examination. Initial investigation indicated the driver was not under the influence of alcohol and was allegedly returning from a birthday party. Police registered a case and are examining CCTV footage to reconstruct the accident.
