“We were doing some renovation work on the Safdurjung flyover when the car came out of nowhere and killed four of our group,” said Yadav, a resident of Bihar’s Motihari district.

The errant vehicle was being driven by Shahid Khan, 25, a resident of Alwar in Rajasthan. “I heard the accused driver was released on bail. Since then I haven’t been able to meet the eyes of Abhinandan’s (the 14-year-old who died in the incident) parents who had sent him to Delhi under my care,” he said.
