Gurugram (Haryana) : Eight people were arrested in connection with the death of a 50-year-old man, who was knocked down by a person performing stunts with his car allegedly under the influence of alcohol in Udyog Vihar Phase-4 here, police said.
Two four-wheelers have been seized from the possession of the accused, they said. According to the police, Saurabh Sharma alias Saiby, Rahul, Ravi Singh alias Ravinder, Vikas alias Vicky, Mohit, Mukul Soni and Luv were arrested in the morning, while Ashok was nabbed late evening. All of them other than Ashok were produced in a city court, which remanded them to judicial custody, they said.

Besides the death, two people were also injured in the incident on Sunday. CCTV cameras showed around 10-12 youths performing stunts using three cars -- a Maruti Ertiga, a Hyundai Venue and a Hyundai Creta -- in front of a liquor outlet at around 2 am, they said.
Complainant Annu Kumar Gupta, who was among the two injured, said he worked at the liquor outlet close to the accident spot. "The one driving Ertiga rammed into me and Sushil.
