Jaipur, May 23 (). Police in Rajasthan registered an FIR against the driver of a vehicle that allegedly ran over four members of a family after BJP MP Kirori Lal Meena sat on a dharna outside DGP Umesh Mishra’s residence on Monday.
On Monday, Meena sat on a dharna along with the relatives of the deceased for not registering an FIR in the accident in Kothakwara.

Meena handed over Rs 2 lakh in cash to the victim’s family, while MLA Ved Prakash Solanki also announced his two months’ salary to the victim’s family.
A check of Rs 10 lakh was also handed over by the government, after which the relatives agreed to take the dead bodies home for the last rites.
