Rajasthan MLA Nandkishore Maharia's son has been accused in the case of allegedly driving under the influence of alcohol. The court on Sunday sent Siddharth Maharia, who was arrested under section 304 of the IPC (punishment for culpable homicide not amounting to murder), to one-day police custody. In a twist to the BMW accident case involving a Rajasthan MLA's son, in which three persons were killed and five others injured, a man on Sunday appeared in a local court where accused Siddharth Maharia was produced and claimed that he was driving the car when the mishap occurred. Siddharth, however, claimed that he was not driving the car and also denied having consumed alcohol. Siddharth, the son of Independent MLA from Fatehpur, Nandkishore Maharia, was allegedly driving the BMW at a speed of around 100 km/hr in the wee hours yesterday.
