The 22-year-old victim, Vikas Soniya, was hit by a bus near the state Assembly building on Tuesday and allegedly lay unattended writhing in pain. According to police, Vikas was later rushed to J P Hospital. From there he was taken to Narmada hospital where he died. A senior police official said that an inquiry has been ordered into the incident.
"Policemen deputed in front of the assembly two days ago should be charged with murder as they intentionally didn't attend Vikas Soniya, whose motorbike was hit by a bus, for half-an-hour as they gave pre-eminence to saluting MP Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, whose convoy was to pass from the road," state Congress spokesman K K Mishra alleged.
People around the place rang up the '108' ambulance service at around 11.28 AM which reached at 11.40 AM, he said.

In the meanwhile, the CM's convoy passed at 11.39 AM, for which the traffic on the thoroughfare, where Vikas lay on the road, was halted by police, he said.
Had the police rushed Vikas, who sustained serious head injuries, to hospital on time, his life could have been saved, Mishra claimed.
"We are going to mount pressure on the government to book the policemen under IPC section 302 (murder)," he said.
Meanwhile, a senior police official said that an inquiry has been ordered into the incident.
"I have set up an inquiry headed by our Additional Superintendent of Police (Traffic) Sandeep Yadav to look into the incident. Action will be taken according to the ASP's findings," Deputy Inspector General of Police Raman Singh Sikarwar said.
