New Delhi: Rahul ka haath, aam aadmi ke saath. The Congress General Secretary virtually lived the slogan on Tuesday evening when he lent a helping hand to a 43-year-old man who had fallen down from his motorcycle after being hit by a car on Krishna Menon Marg.
Rahul was going that way when he spotted the injured man on the road. He stopped his cavalcade, enquired about the man's condition and then got him shifted to one of his escort vehicles. He then asked the security personnel to take him to a hospital. The accident took place near the residence of the former Prime Minister, Atal Bihari Vajpayee.
"A Police Control Room van reached the spot and piloted Mr. Gandhi's escort vehicle to the Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital where the victim Kale Ram, a resident of Dakshinpuri, was treated," said a police officer.
Ram, who works with the New Delhi Municipal Council, was going to his office at Palika Kendra on a motorcycle around noon when he was hit by an Innova car from behind. He lost his balance, fell on the road and sustained shoulder injuries.
The driver of the car, Ajay, has been arrested. A case of causing injury due to rash and negligent driving has been lodged against him at Tuglaq road police station. The vehicle has also been impounded. An eyewitness said that the Congress MP made all arrangements to take the victim to the hospital and also asked him to take care of the man's belongings till the police arrived.
