UP senior ASP 10-year-old son hit by speeding SUV, dies; Accused arrested

The 10-year-old son of a top police officer passed away on Tuesday in Lucknow after being struck by a speeding car as he was learning to skate with his instructor.

Two college students, identified as Sarthak Singh (20), a BA LLB student from a private institution, and his companion Devshree Verma (22), a BTech student, were later taken into custody by police after they opened an investigation. Additionally, the vehicle that was in the collision was found.

The son of Additional Superintendent of Police (ASP) Shweta Srivastava, was killed after he was struck by a speeding SUV when he was practising skating with his coach.

Following the incident, the two defendants—both college students—left the area.

Both of the students were then taken into custody from their separate houses after police used a CCTV camera placed in the area to identify and trace the vehicle involved in the collision.

In an SUV 700, the two were competing to see who could drive faster. They both drove the SUV at over 100 km/h turn by turn. According to a senior police officer, Sarthak lost control of the SUV and struck the 10-year-old child when he took over and drove it at a speed of over 120 km/h.

Both claimed to have learning licenses when asked to show them, but they were unable to do so. Under questioning, the two acknowledged that they knew the youngster would not survive the impact, which is why they left the scene.
