A tempo driver has been arrested for allegedly running over a two-year-old girl in Rohini, the police said.
The child died on the spot. Before locals could catch hold of the driver, he fled leaving the vehicle behind. Later, he was arrested and identified as Avdhesh, 28.
The tempo was passing by residential flats in Alipur area. The girl was playing outside her house and was crushed under the rear wheel of the tempo, the police said.
Hearing the girl's cries, the neighbours came out and saw her lying in a pool of blood. She was rushed to a hospital where she died.
