BJP leader ‘stops’ ambulance that hit his car, patient dies
after the son of Haryana BJP chief was accused of stalking the daughter of an IAS officer, a BJP municipal council chief allegedly stopped an ambulance that hit his car, resulting in the death of the patient who could not get timely treatment.
The complainant, Arun Kumar, has alleged he was taking his uncle, Naveen Kumar, to a cardiologist when their ambulance hit the car of BJP municipal council chief, Darshan Nagpal, from the rear. “The patient died before he could be rushed to the local hospital. Our pleas to the BJP leader to let us go went unheeded,” Arun said.
Nagpal, he alleged, stopped the ambulance near Lal Batti Chowk in Hisar and squabbled with the ambulance driver over compensation for more than 30 minutes. Kumar alleged his uncle died before he could be attended by doctors due to delay.
Nagpal, however, denied the allegations and said he had a word with the ambulance driver after it reached the hospital.
“The driver hit my car from the rear. The driver stopped his vehicle to check it but as there was a patient inside we asked him to leave. All allegations against me are baseless and I am
ready to join the police investigations,” Nagpal added.
Kuldeep Singh, SP, Fatehabad, , said they have received a complaint from Sitaram and Kumar. “The police are investigating the matter. No case has been registered so far.”
