Relatives of Jagdish Suthar sat on Dharna in hospital, refusing to accept the dead body and demanded compensation of Rs 1 crore and a government job for the next of kin of the family.
A 27-year-old man who was hit by a car in the convoy of Union Minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat died of his injuries on Saturday after fighting for life for 11 days in hospital, his family said. Relatives of Jagdish Suthar sat on the Dharna in the hospital, refusing to accept the dead body and demanding compensation of 1 crore and a government job for the next of kin of the family.
Vasudev Suthar, who is leading the protest, said the youth’s death had left the family devastated. “We have demanded a compensation of Rs 1 crore and a government job for the next of kin. We will not take the body until these demands are met,” he said.
Jagdish was hit by a car in Shekhawat lane in BJS Colony on 27 June while he was heading towards Bauta on his bike. Suthar sustained a severe head injury and was rushed to the hospital where he was undergoing treatment. The police had seized the car following a complaint from his father and are waiting for his recovery to record his statement. “We filed a report against the driver of the vehicle and confiscated the vehicle,” said Mukta Parikh, SHO (Mahamandir), adding that the driver was not arrested pending registration of Jagdish’s statement.
His father, Amnarim, said that Shekhawat visited him in the hospital once but offered no treatment support or any financial assistance.
