Tikamgarh (Madhya Pradesh) [India], Oct 8 (ANI): BJP MLA from Khargapur, Rahul Singh Lodhi denied any involvement in the road accident wherein three people died in Tikamgarh.

"My car was not involved in the incident. I was in Phuter the entire day. I had called my driver there. He told me about the accident he witnessed involving two autos and a bike," Lodhi said.

"I'd informed the thana in-charge too. They (deceased) are people of my constituency... I am being framed for an incident in which neither I nor my vehicle was involved. Police should investigate the auto-rickshaws involved," he alleged.

The FIR was registered at the Baldevgarh police station. He has been slapped with IPC 304 A (Causing death by negligence), IPC 279 (Rash driving), IPC 337 (Causing hurt by act endangering life or personal safety of others), Section 184 Motor Vehicle Act (driving dangerously). (ANI)
