Delhi man finishes night shift, leaves office but never reaches his room, dies in suspected hit-and-run; sister wants dashcam videos from public after police fails her.
In a video appeal shared on Instagram, Diya questioned why street cameras that issue traffic challans could not help trace the vehicle involved in her brother's death. She said the family had repeatedly approached the police but had not received answers about the vehicle involved. "Turns out murder is legal in India," she said, expressing anger over the CCTV problems she said the family encountered while approaching the police. She has appealed to motorists and eyewitnesses who travelled through Naraina Flyover towards Mayapuri that morning to share dashcam footage or any information about the accident.
Prince usually reached home by 5.30 am after his night shift
According to Diya, Prince was returning to his home in Pitampura in scooty after completing his night shift in Gurgaon on October 24. According to his sister's appeal, he usually reached home between 5 am and 5.30 am.When he did not return as expected, Diya called him at 6.40 am. A policeman answered his phone and told her that Prince was critical.
Diya rushed to the hospital with her mother. When they reached there, they learnt that Prince had died.
"It was a normal day for us. One morning, out of nowhere, everything in our family came to an end," she said in her video.
The family says Prince lost his life in a suspected hit-and-run near Naraina Flyover, opposite the Border Roads Organisation (BRO), between approximately 4.15 am and 4.45 am.
Sister questions CCTV cameras around Naraina Flyover
In her video, Diya expressed anger over the CCTV footage available to investigators. She alleged that the family received different explanations when they approached the police to find the vehicle involved in the accident.She said some cameras did not have hard disks, some had camera angles that could not capture the vehicle properly, while others were not working.
She also claimed that certain cameras came under the control of other government departments rather than the police.
"Street cameras are only there to issue traffic challans. Because today, when I need those cameras to help catch the person responsible for my brother's hit-and-run, I am being told that they don't have hard disks," she said.
Diya also said that six days had passed since her brother's death and the family continued to approach the police for answers.
She questioned why the cameras could not help investigators trace the vehicle that struck her brother.
Family appeals to eyewitnesses and motorists for footage
Diya has asked anyone who travelled through Naraina Flyover towards Mayapuri on October 24 between 4.30 am and 4.45 am to come forward if they witnessed the accident. "On Naraina Flyover, if you saw an accident involving a scooty between 4:30 am and 4:45 am on October 24...", Diya requested.The family is also seeking dashcam recordings from motorists who travelled along the stretch around that time. Even footage that does not directly capture the accident could potentially help the family identify the vehicle involved, she said.
In a separate appeal, Diya said the accident involved her brother's scooty and urged anyone who witnessed it or had relevant footage to contact the family through direct messages.
She identified herself as Prince's sister and said that she and her mother had lost someone they could never replace.
The family has shared the appeal with the hashtags #JusticeForPrinceSinghal and #NarainaFlyover, asking people to watch, share and repost the video so that someone with information about the accident might come forward.
"We are not asking for sympathy alone. We are asking for help in finding answers and seeking justice for my brother," Diya wrote in her appeal.
The family is seeking information that could help identify the vehicle involved in the suspected hit-and-run and establish what happened to Prince on his way home.
