Rajgarh, MP: An SUV carrying senior Congress leader Digvijaya Singh collided with a motorcycle in Madhya Pradesh’s Rajgarh district on Thursday.

The former MP Chief Minister can be seen rushing out of his car to the aid of the injured biker. Singh rushed the injured biker to a nearby hospital for primary treatment. The 20-year-old, identified as Rambabu Bagri, was later shifted to a hospital in Bhopal.

कार से टक्कर लगने के बाद साइकिल/मोटरसाइकिल सवार/पैदल चलने वाले को छोड़कर भागें नहीं बल्कि उसे उठाकर अस्पताल पहुंचाएं, भले ही गलती उसकी ही हो क्योंकि जान कीमती है।बाकी हिसाब बाद में हो जाएगा। ठीक ऐसा ही किया @digvijaya_28 ने , देखिए pic.twitter.com/C6pxbixfZZ
