Gurgaon BMW crash: Bizman's son says he's harassed and disturbed

Gurgaon, Haryana: Towering men whisked Suraj Sherawat out of Gurgaon’s District Magistrate Court into a white Ritz car after the proceedings in the BMW case earlier this afternoon, taking him away just as he came to the court – untouched by the law. Wearing a blue and white striped shirt, Suraj Sherawat, the prime accused and the alleged driver of the BMW car that that rammed into a Tata Indigo at IFFCO Chowk on 5 May – killing two persons and an unborn child – didn’t betray even a tinge of remorse as he ran into the awaiting car and sped away. While before the court seeking bail, Suraj told the judge that the police was just harassing him and that he was “mentally disturbed and traumatised”.
