A police official close to investigation said that after hitting Aggarwal's car, Jolly got down from his vehicle and picked up an argument with Aggarwal. He then pulled out Aggarwal and thrashed him. Aggarwal somehow managed to free himself and tried to run away from the spot in his car. In a bid to stop him, Jolly jumped on the bonnet of his car but the accused raced on and after some distance Jolly fell down from the car and got crushed under it . However, VA Gupta, additional DC, New Delhi said that Aggarwal took a sudden sharp turn due to which Jolly fell down and was run over.

Police have lodged an case of death due to rash and negligence driving against the driver.u00a0 Eyewitness however claimed that Aggarwal deliberately ran his car over Jolly several times with an intention to kill him. Police said they will verify that possibility.
