Chandigarh, March 3 (IANS) The family of a 35-year-old man who died after being hit by the pilot vehicle of Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar's convoy will be given a compensation of Rs.10 lakh, the state government announced on Tuesday.
Satpal Kashyap, a resident of Takhana village, Nilokheri, in Karnal district, was hit by a pilot vehicle of Haryana Police on Monday evening.
He was crossing the highway when Khattar's convoy, which was going towards Delhi, passed the Taraori area, 20 km from Karnal town.
Two policemen in the pilot vehicle were also seriously injured as the driver of the vehicle lost control and rammed it in the road divider. The injured were taken to a hospital in Karnal.
Khattar's convoy stopped following the accident and the victim was taken to a hospital in one of the vehicles.
However, an ambulance with a doctor which was part of Khattar's convoy was not used to provide immediate medical aid to the victim or to shift him to hospital.
Members of the victim's family slammed the chief minister for not ensuring timely medical attention to Satpal.
