A rickshaw-puller was killed and two other persons were seriously injured when a 19-year-old drunk car driver lost control over the vehicle and rammed it into a two-wheeler, a rickshaw and a passerby in East Delhi's Anand Vihar area today, police said.
The accused--Harjeet Nagpal-- was nabbed by the police after a two-kilometre chase and was allegedly found to be heavily drunk, said police, adding that he does not even have a driving licence.
The mishap took place around 8.30 PM.
Harjeet, who was driving an 'i20' car, first rammed it into a scooty being driven by a 19-year-old girl and then hit a passerby. The car did not stop at this and went on to hit a cycle rickshaw, killing its puller.

Further, while fleeing the spot, Harjeet again rammed into a police picket there.
He was arrested after a two-kilometer chase and was found to be heavily drunk, said police.

Rickshaw puller Sadir (25) died in the accident, while two-wheeler driver Soni (19) and the passerby Shivpal (38) have suffered grievous head injuries, said police.
They injured are being treated at a nearby hospital.
Harjeet lives with his family in Jwala Nagar.
Strict action will be taken against Harjeet's parents who allowed him to drive the car without a licence, said police, adding that a case of causing death due to rash and negligent driving has been registered.
