A 25-year-old woman has died in a road accident in Haryana's Ambala after she was allegedly hit by a car driven by a police officer who was reportedly under the influence of alcohol, officials said on Wednesday.

The victim has been identified as Nikita (also referred to as Nitika by family members). Her body was brought to Civil Hospital late on Tuesday night.

Dr DD Pandey of Civil Hospital, Ambala, told reporters: "We received the body of a 25-year-old girl at around 9:30 PM last night. Her body has been shifted to the mortuary. The police are conducting an investigation."

Ravinder Singh, an e-rickshaw driver, alleged that a speeding car driven by a police officer struck his vehicle.

"I was coming from Ambala Cantt with four passengers in the e-rickshaw. A speeding car driven by a police officer hit our e-rickshaw, and a girl fell from it. After that, the police officer ran over the girl. When she was brought to the hospital, she was declared dead. The police officer was drunk," Singh told reporters.

The victim's brother, Mayank, also alleged that the officer was intoxicated at the time of the incident.

"My elder sister was coming from Delhi. Her name is Nitika, and she works in Gurgaon. A drunk police officer was driving the car, which ran over my sister," he said.

Police have not publicly responded to the allegations that the officer was under the influence at the time of the incident. Further details are awaited as the investigation continues.

The incident has raised serious questions about accountability when law enforcement personnel are allegedly involved in criminal conduct.
