Delhi: 4-year-old girl dead after school van backs into her, ‘Van had no side mirrors’

A four-year-old girl was crushed under a school van after the driver dropped off the child and then reversed the vehicle into her. The van did not have rear view mirrors on either side, which could have saved the girl’s life, police said. Her family said it was the girl’s first day in KG. The incident took place at 2 pm in Shakarpur. Police said the cab driver, Mohit Kapoor (37), dropped off the child, Anushka Ranjan, barely 100 metres from her home. He then went to drop off two other children to their homes. By the time he returned to his vehicle, Ranjan was standing behind the cab.
