Kamaljit Singh, a resident of Sector 44, had told the police that he and his wife Praveen Kaur, a retired teacher, visited the sector market for milk and bread around 6 am.

While he stepped out of the car to make the purchases, his wife stayed behind in the car. Soon after, a youth sat in the driver’s seat while his wife was still in the car.

As the accused drove off, Praveen fell out of the car and its rear wheel ran over her leg. Praveen was rushed to GMCH, Sector 32, for treatment. On Singh’s complaint, police had lodged an FIR under Section 379-B (snatching) of the Indian Penal Code at the Sector 34 police station.
