**Drunk Teen Driver Kills Two, Injures Three in Janakpuri Road Mishap**
*New Delhi, May 30, 2025* – Tragedy struck Janakpuri in West Delhi early Thursday morning as a drunk driver, identified as 19-year-old Harsh Sehrawat, rammed his car into cyclists and a roadside jhuggi, resulting in the deaths of two people and injuries to three others, including a pregnant woman and a young child.
Police reports indicate that Sehrawat, along with a friend, was driving around in a Swift car after attending a function in Gurugram and looking for a place to eat when the incident occurred. He lost control of the vehicle near Pankha Road at approximately 3:30 a.m. while searching for a dhaba.
The victims have been identified as Anish Ansari, 45, a factory worker from Mayapuri, who was cycling at the time, and Phool Singh, 35, a resident of the jhuggi. Ansari was reportedly dragged under the car’s wheels for an estimated 300 meters before the vehicle crashed into Singh’s dwelling. Singh was sleeping on the floor of the jhuggi when the car ran over him. His wife, Soni, 25, who is pregnant, and his five-year-old nephew, Vishal, were also injured and are currently receiving treatment. Kuldeep, 28, another cyclist, sustained injuries as well.
“They were roaming around looking for some dhaba. At the place of the incident, Harsh failed to control the vehicle due to overspeeding, hitting bicycle riders and the jhuggi,” stated Deputy Commissioner of Police (West) Vichitra Veer.
Eyewitnesses described a chaotic scene. “Everyone was asleep so we didn’t pay much heed when the first noise came of the car hitting the cyclist. But hearing the loud noise of wheels skidding and crashing in the jhuggi,” said Arun, a local resident. Another neighbor added that the car was only stopped when it collided with a parked motorcycle near the jhuggi.
Local residents apprehended Sehrawat and his passenger before handing them over to the police. Authorities confirmed that Sehrawat possessed a driver’s license but was under the influence of alcohol at the time of the accident.
Phool Singh is survived by his wife Soni, who is expecting their fifth child, and four other children. Ansari is survived by his wife and four children residing in Sitamarhi, Bihar.
Police have registered a case and are conducting further investigations. The incident has sparked outrage amongst the local community, who are demanding stricter enforcement of drunk driving laws.
