Patna: Suspended BJP leader Manoj Baitha, accused of mowing down nine school children in Muzaffarpur last week, has surrendered before police, a senior official said on Wendesday.
“Baitha surrendered at my official residence at about 1 am,” senior superintendent of police, Muzaffarpur, Vivek Kumar said over phone.
Baitha had sustained injuries on his hand after his vehicle rammed into a wall after ploughing through a group of school children, killing nine of them. “He has been admitted to the PMCH where a police party is keeping a close watch. Further action will be taken in due course”, he said.
A former district level worker from Sitamarhi, Baitha was suspended from the BJP on Monday after the hit-and-run case that took place in Muzaffarpur on Saturday.
