The scooter was being driven by Aravind Muralidharan, a second-year PU student of Presidency College in Kempapura and a resident of Ganganagar in R.T. Nagar. Another two-wheeler rider was badly injured.

According to the police, the accident happened between 9.15 and 9.30 a.m. on the busy international airport road diagonally opposite Columbia Asia hospital.

The car driver, Anita Sen, was going from Yelahanka New Town to her office in Cox Town. She is a graphic designer.

Sen was also injured and admitted to Columbia Asia Hospital. The police are waiting for her to recover before questioning her. “She is in a state of shock,” a source in the police said.

What happened

According to witness accounts, Sen was manoeuvring her car from the service road on to the main road near the ramp in Kempapura when she lost control of the vehicle. She rammed into the median, but the car did not stop on impact. Instead, it crossed over to the other side and collided with Aravind's bike.

Aravind sustained grievous head injuries and was rushed to Columbia Asia Hospital where he was declared dead on arrival.

When hit by the speeding car, his bike was tossed in the air. On landing, it hit another two-wheeler driven by Vijay Hiremath (40), a contractor. Vijay sustained multiple fractures.

“All the three vehicles were badly damaged. The motorists following Aravind and Vijay had a narrow escape,” a senior police officer said.

Woman booked

The Hebbal traffic police have registered a case against Anita Sen under Section 304A (death due to negligence) and Section 279 (rash driving or riding on a public way) of the Indian Penal Code.

“We have registered a case of causing death by negligence and rash driving on a public highway against the car driver. We are in the process of scrutinising the licences and other documents of the driver and riders of the three vehicles involved in the accident,” said Renuka Sukumaran, DCP North Division (Traffic).

Traffic movement on the busy Ballari Road was disrupted for about an hour after the accident.

Bengaluru, Jan 9: Some BJP workers created a ruckus on Wednesday at a college here while seeking support for the amended Citizenship Act by raising slogans like 'Go back to Pakistan' outside the campus on Wednesday, as girl students opposed a pro-CAA banner on the wall of their institution.

A video of the incident went viral on social media.

A group of BJP workers, supporters of local party leader M M Govindaraj, had put up a poster "India Supports CAA" on the wall of Jyothi Nivas College near Koramangala.

This was opposed by girl students, who said they would not allow any such poster to be put up on the college property.

The BJP workers then tried to shout down the students.

"You are not concerned about citizenship, you are concerned about yourself. You should be concerned about India first. You are not an Indian then," a BJP worker is heard screaming at the girls in the video.

They also questioned the students if they had valid reasons to oppose the Citizenship Amendment Act and sought to know whether they wanted an argument or a debate.

The BJP workers purportedly told the girls that they were only the students of the college and not the owner.

"What's your problem madam with the CAA? Are you the owner of the college?" they asked.

Amid the heated argument, the BJP workers resorted to sloganeering like 'We want CAA' and "Go back to Pakistan', as seen in another video shot by the students.

BTM Layout Congress MLA Ramalinga Reddy visited the college on Thursday after learning about the incident and spoke to its management.

Later, he told reporters that the campus should not be allowed for any political activities.

"Any signature campaign whether in favor or against it (CAA) should be done outside the campus," Reddy said.

He cautioned the pro-CAA protesters he will not let any violent incidents like the one at Jawaharlal Nehru University in New Delhi happen at the city college.

Reddy's daughter Sowmya Reddy, who is the Jayanagar MLA, tweeted, "A few videos & photos of outside #JyotiNivascollege are being circulated on social media."

"MLA Ramalinga Reddy & I have spoken to cops and the Prinicipal about this incident. Spoke to DCP South East Bengaluru and she said that Koramangala cops went there immediately & they are picketing even now," she added.
