A hunger strike by a Congress and a BJP MLA protesting the death of a tractor driver in mysterious circumstances in Rajasthan’s Tonk district entered third day on Monday. Tonk Superintendent of Police Chunaram Jat claimed that the driver jumped from the moving tractor and died when the police tried to stop it. However, the driver’s family members accused the police of beating him which led to his death. The BJP MLA said, “We have been protesting for the last several days but the government is paying no heed. No FIR has been registered by the family members of the driver yet,” the SP said.
