Jaipur hit-and-run case: Congress expels accused Usman Khan from party amid protest

Jaipur hit-and-run case: The Jaipur City District Congress Committee has taken prompt action in response to the tragic incident in Nahargarh, where an SUV mowed down pedestrians, resulting in three casualties and several injuries. Usman Khan, who has been identified as the driver involved in the incident and was reportedly associated with Congress, has now been expelled from the party's district executive committee. 

Three persons were killed, and at least eight others sustained injuries when the speeding car ran over several pedestrians in the Nahargarh area. As the vehicle moved from MI Road to the narrow lanes under the Nahargarh police station area, the drunk driver mowed down people and vehicles on its way, police said. The SUV even collided with vehicles parked outside the police station. Those injured in the accident were Virendra Singh (48), Mamta Kanwar (50), Monesh Soni (28), Mohammad Jalaluddin (44), Deepika Saini (17), Vijay Narayan (65), Jebunnisha (50), Anshika (24), and Awadhesh Pareek (37).

Tensions flare in Nahargarh

Eyewitnesses reported scenes of panic and chaos following the incident, with bystanders rushing to help the injured while emergency services were called in. The injured were rushed to nearby hospitals, where they are currently undergoing treatment. Tensions flared in the Nahargarh area following the incident as angry residents took to the streets in protest. The crowd blocked the road and set tyres ablaze, demanding justice for the victims and capital punishment for the accused. 

BJP MLA Balmukund Acharya's reaction 

Meanwhile, BJP MLA Balmukund Acharya condemned the incident and demanded that the accused be hanged for his act. "The accused, Usman Hasan, has done this deliberately. He is a Congress functionary and should be hanged. I have full faith in my government, CM Bhajanlal Sharma, that this (victim's) family will get compensation and at the same time, bulldozers will be used on those who have caused this accident. The accused is a worker of Amin Kagzi (Congress MLA), and he is trying to save him. But we will not let him escape. We will ensure that he is hanged."
