The driver of the Mercedes that was allegedly hit by a 22-year-old bike-borne student in north Delhi's Civil Lines area surrendered before the police and has been arrested, police said on Thursday. The 22-year-old student is out of danger.

The accident occurred on the night of April 4, which was co-incidentally the first anniversary of the Mercedes hit-and- run case in which a minor driver had mowed down a 32-year-old marketing executive in the same area.

Around 11pm on April 4, a white Mercedes had allegedly been hit by Trinesh Kumar, who was on his motorcycle, in Civil Lines area, DCP (North) Jatin Narwal said.

He was also accompanied by his friend, based on whose statement an FIR was registered and an investigation launched, he said.

"We procured CCTV footage from the area to identify the offending vehicle but its number wasn't visible. We contacted Delhi Transport department and got a list of white Mercedes cars registered in the national capital," Narwal said.

Meanwhile, the accused driver, Manish Jain, himself came and surrendered on Wednesday evening before the police, police said.
