Oz hit-and-run case: Accused appeals Indian govt for help

December 12, 2013 19:46

Accused in a 2008 hit-and-run case in Australia, Puneet Puneet today appealed to the Indian government to help him as a local court in issued transit remand for him to appear before a Delhi court tomorrow.

Puneet, now 24, had fled Australia in 2009, after he was wanted in a hit-and-run case in Southbank, Victoria, Australia, that killed a 19-year-old youth Dean Hofstee and seriously injured his friend Clancy Cloker.

Puneet was arrested by Rajpura police on November 29 after Victoria (Australia) Police last year offered a reward of $1,00,000 for him.
