<\/div>\n<\/div>\nBasti (UP): <\/b><\/p>\n
A nine-year-old boy died allegedly after being run over by BJP MP Harish Dwivedi’s car here, police said on Tuesday.\u00a0According to a complaint filed by Shatrughan Rajbhar, the father of the deceased boy — Abhishek — the accident occurred on Saturday near the Hardiya intersection when he was returning from school along with other children, they said.<\/p>\n
Just as the children reached a petrol pump, Abhishek was hit by a white SUV belonging to Mr Dwivedi, police said quoting the complaint. Mr Rajbhar in his complaint said that two white-colored vehicles were coming from Manauri side and one of them hit the boy, they said.<\/p>\n
A case has been registered against unknown persons under 279 (rash and negligent driving) and 304A (causing death by a rash and negligent act) of the Indian Penal Code, Circle Officer (Basti Sadar) Alok Prasad said.<\/p>\n
The child was admitted to a district hospital from where he was referred to Lucknow but succumbed to injuries while on his way to the hospital, they said.<\/p>\n
The father said that despite being in such a responsible position, the MP left the child suffering on the road. “He did not feel the need to get down of the car and take him to a hospital.”<\/p>\n
Mr Dwivedi was unavailable for comment as his staff said that he was busy in some organisational meeting in Bihar.<\/p>\n
