The BMW bearing a Chandigarh license plate was registered in Kohli’s mother’s name and he was on his way to Vasant Vihar when he lost control of the car and rammed it into the cab ahead, as police stated.

The car had been impounded by the Vasant Vihar police station.

Tens of cab drivers protested during the day, demanding the arrest of the driver of the luxury vehicle, as the person who died in the accident was a driver with cab aggregator Uber.
