Dwarka Accident Case: Victim’s Mother Moves Delhi High Court Seeking CBI Probe Over Police Laxity

The Dwarka road accident case has reached the Delhi High Court after Inna Makkan, the mother of the deceased Sahil Dhaneshra, filed a petition seeking a transfer of the probe to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). Sahil, a 23-year-old man, lost his life in a collision involving an SUV allegedly driven by a 17-year-old minor on February 3, 2026. The petitioner alleges significant gaps and laxity in the current investigation conducted by the Delhi Police.

What are the allegations against the Delhi Police?

The petitioner has raised several serious concerns regarding how the Delhi Police has handled the case so far. She alleges that there has been grave negligence and haste in filing the chargesheet, which she believes is an attempt to shield the accused due to his father’s influence. The mother claims that she was not informed about the proceedings before the Juvenile Justice Board and that no action has been taken against other occupants of the vehicle. Key points mentioned in the plea include:

• The Investigating Officer allegedly showed laxity in gathering evidence.
• Occupants of the SUV were reportedly making stunt videos during the incident.
• No immediate medical help was provided to Sahil despite the presence of an ambulance.
• The petitioner demands a court-monitored investigation to ensure transparency.

Current legal status and next hearing date

Justice Saurabh Banerjee is scheduled to hear the petition on Monday, April 7, 2026. While the minor driver is currently facing charges under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, his father has also been booked for allowing an unlicensed minor to drive. The family of the deceased is now demanding an independent agency to take over the case to provide justice for their son. The case continues to highlight the legal complexities involving juvenile offenders and road safety laws.
