The lawmaker had alleged that the accused attempted to insert a stick in the victim's private parts which led to his death.
Meena demanded strict punishment for the attackers and a compensation of Rs 50 lakh and a government job for Lal's family.
The MP had also alleged that police delayed the registration of FIR and pressured the family to settle the matter with Lal's attackers.
The Rajya Sabha member had demanded an FIR be lodged against the accused police personnel and those found guilty be suspended.
Nagaur MP Hanuman Beniwal had also condemned the incident saying such acts have no place in a civilised society.
