New Delhi: In a terrifying incident that exposes the apathy of people in Delhi, a 20-year-old management student, busy in preparations for his elder sister's marriage, died on road waiting for help.
Vinay Jindal, a resident of Jhilmil in Vivek Vihar area of East Delhi, was riding on his scooty when he was hit by a speeding car at Kasturba Nagar traffic light on Monday night. Vinay lay on the road for some time waiting for help but no one came to his aid. He later died.
Vinay had lost his father at a young age.
Delhi Commission for Women (DCW) chief Swati Maliwal today met Jindal's mother and said that if someone had helped the boy, he might have been alive today.
दिल्ली दिलवालों की? विनय सड़क पर तड़पते रहे लेकिन किसी ने मदद नहीं की। फिर भी उनकी माताजी ने उनकी आँखें दान करी। उनके जज़्बे को मेरा सलाम।
