The driver has been identified as Anil Kumar Bahari, a resident of DDA flats, Ram Pur. The incident took place at around 3.00 am.
According to police, the 32-year-old was driving from the Lodhi Road side and rammed the main (iron) gate of the tomb. He also hit the notice board, which broke into pieces.
