The daughter of the victim, who died after Union HRD Minister Smriti Irani‘s cavalcade hit their vehicle, today said that she pleaded before her with folded hands but the Minister didn’t provide them any help. Irani’s convoy was caught in a car pile-up following an accident on the Yamuna Expressway on Saturday. However, Irani, who was on her way to Delhi, escaped unhurt.
“The car of the minister hit us from behind. From another car, Irani came and I pleaded before her with folded hands to help us but she did not provide any help. Then another car came from behind and hit my father again and my father died. If the other car would not have hit my father, he might have been alive today,” daughter of the victim told.
Meanwhile, her brother describing the incident said that his father was going to Mathura to attend a marriage when he was hit by Smriti Irani’s convoy.
