JAIPUR: The family of the deceased police constable aspirant who was killed in a road accident on Friday refused to take the victim’s body till their demands were met. The family is asking for monetary compensation and the body is still at SMS hospital. The youth was killed after a speeding luxury car hit him on Sodala elevated road.
The deceased was identified as 22-year-old Mada Ram who hailed from Pali and was to appear in the constable recruitment exam in Jaipur on Friday.
Police sources
told TOI that the deceased’s kin were asking for compensation. One of the sources said, “The family is talking to the
senior officials
and asking for monetary compensation as well as a government job for one family member. Till then the body is kept at SMS hospital’s mortuary. Even if the family agrees, the local leaders are the ones influencing them.”
The aspirant was walking on the road when the car being driven by a woman hit him from behind. Mada Ram bounced off the road and landed on the roof of a house.
The collision was so severe that he died on the spot.
Meanwhile, senior police officials claimed that the family had different reason for not taking the body. An official said, “The family is not demanding anything from us and there is no compensation for road accidents. The family has stated that they are waiting for one of their relatives to come from Mumbai after that they will take the body to Pali. The accused has been booked and a chargesheet in the case will be submitted as soon as the investigation is completed.”
A case under IPC section 304 A (causing death by negligence) as well as 279 (rash driving) was registered against Neha Soni, who the cops claimed, was questioned. No one has been arrested yet and the accused was allowed to go home on Friday. IPC section 304 A is a bailable offence and the offender can get bail at
police station
itself.
