“When I reached the spot after 35 minutes, police personnel were present on the spot. I took him to the hospital. My father’s right arm got broken in the accident,” he told HT.

“I am not aware about it but I am sure that police personnel can’t do such thing. The response time and rate of police to help the accident victims is very good in the city,” Gwalior superintendent of police Ashish said.
