Jaipur: A two-year-old child was killed when politician Hema Malini's speeding Mercedes hit a Maruti Alto in Rajasthan on Thursday evening. The driver of Hema Malini's car was arrested late in the night after a first information report or FIR was filed.
Harsh Khandelwal, the father of the child who died, filed the FIR against the BJP lawmaker's driver Mahesh Thakur. Speaking with great difficulty at the Jaipur hospital where he was treated for injuries to the legs and collar bone and multiple fractures, Mr Khandelwal said he was driving the Alto, with four of his family in it.
While his daughter Chinni died, his son, 6, has fractures in both arm and legs and is in ICU at Jaipur's Sawai Man Singh Hospital. Mr Khandelwal's wife and sister-in-law too have fractures. Chinni's mother has not been told that her daughter has died.

The Dausa police, which arrested the driver of Mercedes, said he was driving at over 120 km per hour. He has been booked under charges of culpable homicide not amounting to murder, over-speeding and negligent driving.
Photographs showed the severely crumpled front end of the luxury car. The Alto was completely crushed.
Hema Malini had plastic surgery last night for wounds on her face at Fortis hospital. A doctor said she was under post-operative care.
