Around 10.30 am on Tuesday, the BJP MLA from Hawa Mahal, Balmukund Acharya, and his supporters started a protest in front of the police station, demanding compensation for the deceased’s family members. Police forces were called from different stations to control the situation.

Police said that the accused hit several vehicles, including two-wheelers, over a 500-metre distance. The driver first allegedly hit a scooter near Santoshi Mata temple and then fled as people could be seen writhing on the ground. He also allegedly hit vehicles parked outside the police station.
