    What's the story

    Rajasthan lawmaker Nand Kishore Mehria's son, Siddharth Mehria, killed three people and left five others injured after ramming an auto-rickshaw and a police van with his BMW.

    The incident took place on Saturday night near St.Xavier's school in Jaipur.

    The injured were rushed to the SMS hospital where another victim expired.

    Additional DCP Yogesh Goyal said, "There were four persons in the car. Two managed to escape and two -- Siddharth and his relative Jayant -- were caught."

    Police account

    Police say Siddharth Mehria was behind the wheel

    The police officers who were present in the police van which the car rammed said that Siddharth was behind the wheel.

    While three of the officers sustained minor injuries, Assistant sub-inspector Rajju Singh was hospitalized.

    The police also claimed that Siddharth Mehria was inebriated when the incident occurred.

    However, they added that they could not be certain till medical test reports came in.
