BJP MLA's Nephew Arrested in Ahmedabad Hit-and-Run Killing Rapido Passenger
A speeding Range Rover driven by Raghavendra Kushwaha, nephew of BJP MLA Dineshsinh Kushwaha, collided with a Rapido motorcycle in Ahmedabad on November 11, killing passenger Harshadkumar Purbia and injuring the rider, Pradeep Dadwal. Kushwaha fled the scene but was arrested over 40 hours later and later released on bail. Police investigations found no evidence of intoxication, though questions remain about the handling of the case, including the absence of a blood sample collection. The vehicle was seized and forensic tests are ongoing.
