The mother of the 23-year-old Delhi man, who died in an accident last week, has released a video claiming that it was a reel showing the exact moment when an SUV, driven by a 17-year-old, hit him.

The mother of the 23-year-old Delhi man, who died in an accident last week, has released a video claiming that it was a reel showing the exact moment when an SUV, driven by a 17-year-old, hit him. According to police, the accused's sister was also in the car and filming a normal video, which is a part of the investigation.

The video, accessed by India Today TV, shows the teen racing on a road with vehicles parked on both sides. The reel, which is being recorded by the teen's sister, shows the Scorpio passing by a yellow bus on the opposite side of the road.

The SUV then encounters a bike, driven by the victim, Sahil Dhaneshra, who is in the opposite direction, just moments before the collision takes place, the video shows. Police said the video, wherein the minor is not visible, is being investigated further.

On February 3, Sahil was killed in a road accident in southwest Delhi's Dwarka after his bike was hit head-on by a Scorpio allegedly being driven by a 17-year-old. The crash took place around noon near Lal Bahadur Shastri College.

The minor, who did not have a driving licence, was later caught and produced before the Juvenile Justice Board, which sent him to an observation home. He was subsequently granted interim bail to appear for his Class 10 board examinations.

Sahil’s mother, Inna Makan, a single parent, alleged that the teenager had taken his father’s Scorpio out with his sister to shoot reels. Speaking to India Today TV, she claimed the sister had later posted a reel online, which she said showed evidence of how her son died.
