Jaipur: A six-year-old child died on Wednesday while his grandfather received serious injuries after their bike was hit by a car which was a part of RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat's convoy in Mundawar village in Alwar district of Rajasthan.
Chetram Yadav, who was driving the ill-fated bike, is a sarpnach in Sheopur village. He has been referred to Jaipur Hospital for further treatment.
Ramswaroop Bairwa, sub-inspector at the Mandawar police station, said, "A car from the cavalcade hit the motorcycle, killing six-year-old Sachin while his grandfather was severely injured. An FIR has been registered against the driver of the car and further investigations are underway."
