Who is 1999 Delhi hit-and-run case?

In 1999, Sanjeev Nanda, then a Wharton Business School student, ran over six people, including three police officers. While Nanda and several related parties were initially acquitted and released in a trial in 1999, Nanda was later found guilty in 2008 and sentenced to two years in prison, which was reduced to time served, a large fine, and two years of community service by the Indian Supreme Court in 2012.
