According to officials, privy to the probe, the suspected driver has been apprehended. However, there was no official word on it.

Jalandhar rural senior superintendent of police (SSP) Harvinder Singh Virk said that the cops have identified the vehicle with a registration number, PB 20C 7100, through CCTV footage.

“The vehicle was identified after a thorough scan of all the CCTV camera footage collected by the police. The driver and owner of the vehicle is yet to be identified as the SUV, involved in the incident, was sold and resold multiple times in the past,” SSP Virk said. Virk said that the cops zeroed in on the vehicle based on the evidence and analysing video surveillance data.

“Based on this particular data, we have also zeroed in on the SUV, registered with the transport department in Nawashahr’s Balachaur. From the accident spot, we also recovered some fragments of the vehicle's headlight,” the SSP added.

“In the CCTV footage, the part of vehicle, which was found at the accident spot, was missing. It was a left side’s headlight fragment. The registration number was readable which we tracked,” the SSP said.
