Scindia 'shaken' over death of Kerala man hit by his car

Congress leader Jyotiraditya Scindia on Thursday said he was "shaken" from the core over the death of a 65-year-old man whose two-wheeler was allegedly hit by his car in Kerala.

"It has shaken me from the core," Scindia told reporters adding that he did everything possible to get prompt medical treatment to the victim and later saw to it that the man's daughter was flown there from Delhi where she is working.

He said he also went to the residence of the man along with party MP K C Venugopal to condole the death.

The man was killed on Wednesday when his two-wheeler was allegedly hit by a car in which Scindia was travelling at Puthiyakavu on the Kochi-Allapuzha stretch of a national highway yesterday.

Scindia was going in a chauffeur-driven car to attend a function at Cherthala after arriving at Kochi from New Delhi.
