Anjali Singh Killed After Car Drags Her 12 Kilometers

20-year-old Anjali Singh was hit by a car and dragged under it for miles in outer Delhi. Anjali was the sole breadwinner of her family, was hit by a car on December 31 night and dragged by it for 12 kilometres. A dedicated sister to five siblings and a sole breadwinner — though burdened with many responsibilities, 20-year-old Anjali Singh was like any other young woman her age. She was found naked and dead on the road in Kanjhawala. In the early hours of Sunday, as she rode her scooter home from work on a dimly lit stretch, she met a fate unlike any other 20-year-old. Anjali’s two-wheeler was hit by a Baleno that had five men in their 20s as its occupants, and her body was dragged under the vehicle for over 10 km. Anjali was a Sultanpuri resident who worked part-time with an event management firm and had been out for work on New Year's eve when the incident happened. For her family, Anjali’s death means losing their pole star. She lost her father eight-nine years ago, and her mother suffers kidney issues. This prompted Anjali to drop out of school in Class 10, so she could financially support the family. She took up a job at a salon, and then as an usher at weddings and other such events, earning anywhere between Rs 500 and 1,000 for each attendance. The family said her main job was to welcome guests, arrange flowers and help brides with make-up and dressing. She had also worked part-time at small salons to earn extra money, but lost those gigs due to the pandemic-induced lockdown.
