New York sources have stated that a woman of Indian-descent was left to die in a car by the driver who left her behind after the vehicle caught fire in New York. According to sources the firefighters found the charred body of 25 year old Harleen Grewal early Friday morning.
Sources have stated that the driver of the car, Saeed Ahmad, 23, whom the daily described as “heartless”, flagged down a taxi near the scene of the incident to go to a hospital. Meanwhile the police caught him at the hospital, where he was being treated for burns to his arms and legs, and charged him with homicide and several other offences relating to the incident.
Furthermore his driving license had been suspended prior to the accident making it illegal for him to drive. Police sources told the New York Daily News that Ahmad had a few drinks before the crash but a blood test showed he was not legally drunk. According to witness he was seen weaving in and out of traffic before his 2007 Infiniti G35 car hit the road divider and caught fire. Moreover Ahmad told the police that he was dating Grewal, the daughter of Punjabi immigrants. Finally Ahmad’s brother, Waheed, claimed that he had tried to rescue Grewal.
