Five people suffered injuries after Picchore MLA Pritam Lodhi's son rammed into a bike and a young woman while driving his Thar when he was going to the gym in his Thar vehicle. Police have registered a case and started an investigation.
However, Pichhore MLA Pritam Lodhi has supported action against his son. He asserted that if his son struck a pedestrian, the law should take its course. The Madhya Pradesh MLA also wrote on the internet that an MLA's son and family are not important. Instead, the public is paramount, and the police administration should ensure justice for the victims.
So this is Pritam Lodhi’s son, Dinesh Lodhi Mla picchore casually mowing down 5 people with a Thar like roads are his personal racetrack. Three bikers and two women on foot injured… and instead of remorse, this man has the audacity to say, “I was honking and using siren, why… pic.twitter.com/mDGoKp9MxI

What Was The Matter?
Dinesh Lodhi, son of Pichhore MLA Pritam, was driving his Thar to the gym around 8 am on Thursday. The SUV then went out of control on Tila Road in front of the Karaira police station. It first rammed into a motorcycle, injuring three young men riding it. The car then hit a woman and two young women walking on the road, injuring them as well.
The injured were shifted to the hospital for treatment. The injured people were identified as Sanjay Parihar, Ashish Parihar, Anshul Parihar, Sita Verma, and Pooja Soni.
Sanjay Parihar, a resident of Sanheda, Datia, said that he and his friends Ashish and Anshul were traveling to Thanra village on a bike to work when they were hit by a vehicle. Police have registered a case against Dinesh Lodhi under sections 281 and 125(A) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).
In a viral video, Lodhi was captured saying that he was constantly honking the siren and horn from behind, but three young men were riding the bike, and the driver was waving it around, which is why the accident occurred. Some people are also seen asking him whether the car lacked brakes. If the driver was riding the bike, how did the pedestrians collide? "Pritam Lodhi" was written on the front of the car and "MLA" on the back.
