Aam Admi Party (AAP) leader Santosh Koli, who suffered critical injuries after being hit by a speeding car here June 30, has succumbed to her injuries, police said Wednesday.
Koli, the AAP candidate from Sundar Nagri assembly constituency in Delhi, died in a Gurgaon hospital Tuesday night. The AAP has alleged that she may have been murdered.
Koli was with a party colleague on a motorcycle when the car knocked them down here June 30. Both were injured and the motorcycle caught fire.
Kuldeep Panwar, who was driving the motorcycle, alleged in a complaint to police that the hit-and-run case was an attempt to kill Koli.
Police failed to identify the car driver and arrest him.
They were rushed to a nearby hospital. When Koli did not respond to treatment, she was shifted to Fortis Hospital in Noida and then to Fortis Hospital in Gurgaon where she died.
"She was murdered due to her political profile in her constituency," AAP leader Manish Sisodia said.
