New Delhi: Jet Airways pilot Vikas Aggarwal, who allegedly crushed a hotel manager under his car on Tuesday in New Delhi's Khan Market, has been granted bail. However, the post-mortem of the hotel manager, Rakesh Jolly, is yet to be done even as his family is waiting for the body to perform the last rites.
"Since morning we are waiting here. Just some time back a policeman informed us that post-mortem will not happen today," said Jolly's uncle Manu David.
David also alleged that there was some political pressure on police.
"It really shocks us to see that he got bail so fast. The post-mortem has also been delayed. I think somewhere there is political pressure. We are planning to move court to seek justice," he said.
However, a police official said it appeared that the accident was not intentional.
"The pilot was trying to enter the market while he was being thrashed allegedly by Jolly. Jolly fell down. There was little space between the car and footpath where Jolly was standing. His injuries were on the right side of his body. He apparently died due to the fall," the official said.
Aggarwal's car had allegedly run over Jolly after a scuffle between the two. Eyewitnesses and police say that the incident happened when Aggarwal rammed his car into Jolly's.
Jolly allegedly came out and started punching Aggarwal who was still in his car.
Aggarwal tried to escape by driving away when Jolly, who was still clinging to the door, is said to have fallen and came under the wheels of the car.
Aggarwal has been charged with causing death by negligence.
