Bihar hit-and-run case: After SUV ran over nine kids, BJP leader Manoj Baitha got 24 stitches, fled
Eyewitness accounts and CCTV footage have helped “conclude” that Sitamarhi BJP leader Manoj Baitha was driving the SUV that ran over nine schoolchildren crossing a road, Bihar police said Tuesday. Police also believe Baitha was treated for injuries after the accident, including 24 stitches, before leaving the country.
While trying to flee after running down a 65-year-old woman near the Dharampur middle school on February 24, Baitha had allegedly lost control of his SUV — registration number BR06PA7084 — and ran over a group of students crossing National Highway 77, killing nine children aged between seven and 13. Ten more children, injured in the accident, are being treated at hospitals in Muzaffarpur and Patna while Minapur police has registered an FIR against Baitha.

India politician who 'ran over' children surrenders
That's 19 children in one incident, 9 dead. And after running over a woman. Sitamarhi is a city population about 2.5 million, and the surrounding district - so look on this like a GOP chairman in a small state.
