Six people were gravely hurt in this tragedy, and three people including a woman died. Haji Usman Khan, a Congress worker, caused pandemonium by driving the SUV seven kilometers at a fast pace through a crowded part of the city.
The 6 people injured in the accident, Monesh Soni (28), Mohammed Jalaluddin (44), Deepika Saini (17), Vijay Narayan (65), Zebunnisha (50) and Anshika (24) are being treated at Sawai Mansingh Hospital, Jaipur and the condition of some of the patients is still critical.
The driver Usman Khan who has now been arrested runs an iron bed manufacturing factory in Jaipur’s VKI area and on Monday night, he was allegedly driving the Alcazar car under the influence of alcohol, which went out of control and crushed pedestrians.
In the wake of the tragic hit-and-run incident in Jaipur’s Nahargarh area, the Jaipur City District Congress Committee has taken swift disciplinary action by expelling Usman Khan who was a party worker from its district executive committee.
Jaipur Congress president RR Tiwari said, “Irrespective of which party the perpetrator of the crime belongs to. There should be the harshest punishment. Usman Khan has committed a big crime, in such a situation, legal action should be taken without political discrimination and strict punishment should be given. So that people know how you are driving.”
“The incident in which a car driver in Jaipur crushed multiple people at a high speed is very sad and unfortunate. We have deep condolences to those who lost their loved ones in the accident,” tweeted Govind Singh Dotasra, head of the Rajasthan Pradesh Congress Committee.
Criminals who perpetrate such crimes while intoxicated should face harsh punishment.
Nahri Ka Naka resident Usman Khan, 62, has been involved in Jaipur district politics for 20 years. Usman Khan had demanded a ticket from Ward 135 be given to him by the Congress. Khan is the CEO of Educate Electro Mechanical Engineering Private Limited, a factory located in the Vishwakarma Industrial Area.
His business manufactures ambulance stretchers, hospital beds, chairs, and other items. This was Usman Khan’s sixth appointment to the Jaipur City Congress.
Nevertheless, Usman Khan was fired by the Jaipur City District Congress Committee as a result of this matter. With immediate effect, he has been dismissed from his position as district vice president.
According to authorities, nine persons were murdered on Saturday when a speeding vehicle struck them 0.5 kilometres from Jaipur’s Nahargarh police station. Several two-wheelers and cars parked on the side of the road were also struck by the car. The market was in disarray as a result.
The car’s driver ran away from the scene, abandoning the vehicle. Hundreds of people gathered on the spot after the incident to express their anger over the issue of speeding in public places. The car was vandalized by the crowd as the cops were transporting it to the police station. Police officers from neighbouring police stations were brought in when they noticed the crowd becoming unruly.
