She said it was ironic that the accused's father chose to apologise 15 days after the accident and had not made any effort to reach out to her personally until now. Speaking to PTI, the boy’s father said he was away from the city on business when the accident took place. The accused's father said, "I do not dare to face the grieving mother because I can never undo her loss." Recorded by a passerby, the video purportedly shows the victim lying on the road and the SUV at the crash site. Deputy Commissioner of Police (Dwarka) Ankit Singh said the accused initially claimed to be 19, but document verification proved he is a minor.
