Sonepat, February 17
The police on Thursday arrested from Nuh the truck driver who was involved in the road accident that led to the death of actor-turned-activist Deep Sidhu on Tuesday.
The driver, identified as Kasim Khan of Shingar village in Nuh of Mewat district, had managed to escape from the spot after the accident.
Inspector Jaspal Singh, SHO, Kharkhoda, said that the 22-tyre truck was on the way to Muzaffarnagar in Uttar Pradesh from Kandla in Gujarat.
Kasim has been locked up and would be produced in court on Friday. He would be taken on remand for further investigation, the SHO maintained. Over 100-ft-long skid marks on the Kundli-Manesar-Palwal (KMP) expressway near Pipli toll plaza are enough to show the gravity of the accident in which Deep Sidhu lost his life.
However, the Sonepat police have ruled out any conspiracy or foul play behind the death of Deep Sidhu on the basis of primary investigation reports.
