The labourer, identified as Yogesh (23), was employed by a sub-contractor already under arrest in the case. “Yogesh had informed the sub-contractor, Rajesh Kumar Prajapati, about the incident during the night but did not alert the police or any emergency agency. When the victim's family reached the spot later that night, searching for him, Yogesh misled them by claiming he had no knowledge,” the DCP said. Using mobile phone location data, the family and police later combed the Janakpuri area before locating the accident site after several hours. Police said Yogesh’s role is still being examined and further legal action will follow based on evidence.
