A major matter of concern is why the PCR failed to spot the incident even though all the surveillance cameras on the route were working. ‘There is a live feed available to the control room from these cameras,’ an officer told News18

9 police vans failed to catch car, search began 2 hours after first PCR call: Delhi accident's new details reveal lapses

New Delhi: The preliminary assessment of the Anjali Singh death case has pointed to serious lapses on part of the Delhi Police. The report by senior Delhi Police officials has been submitted to the Union Home Ministry. The assessment said that a search for the Baleno car that dragged the victim for almost 12 km on 1 January was launched two hours after the first call was made to the Police Control Room, sources told News18. At least nine police vans were despatched to locate the car but failed to catch it, NDTV reported. Here’s what we know about the lapses by the police so far:

  • Sources told NDTV that the police vans were unable to locate the car due to “poor visibility” in fog.
  • A search operation was launched only after 4:15 am on 1 January- almost two hours after the first PCR call was made, a News18 report said.
  • Multiple PCR calls were made between 2 am and 4 am. Eyewitnesses Deepak Dahiya who saw Singh’s body being dragged by the car said that he called the police twice, at 3:20 am and 3:30 am but no action was taken.
  • Calls were made to the PCR at 4.11 am by other eyewitnesses, the report added. According to an NDTV report, Singh’s body was found at 4.40 am with her clothes ripped off and her skin peeled away.
  • An official told News18 that there were lapses on part of the police pickets and also the police control room.
  • Several police pickets “did not find anything amiss” even as Singh was dragged by suspects for 12 km," sources told News18.
  • A major matter of concern is why the PCR failed to spot the incident even though all the surveillance cameras on the route were working.
  • “There is a live feed available to the control room from these cameras," an officer told News18.

The police are yet to submit a final report to the Ministry of Home Affairs. Brain matter missing, a total of 40 injuries: Victim’s autopsy reveals Singh’s brain matter was found to be missing, her skull cavity was open, her spine was fractured and there were a total of 40 injuries on her body, the autopsy report revealed.
