Bengaluru, Jan 23: A 24-year-old girl was killed after a speeding BBMP garbage truck struck her scooter and ran her over on the busy Race Course Road in Central Bengaluru on Monday.

The victim has been identified as B N Sahithya, of Rajajinagar, and a final year student of architecture at a college near Hesaraghatta Road. Her father Nagaraj runs a printing press. She was interning at the firm on Cunningham Road.

She was on the way to an architecture firm on Cunningham Road when the garbage truck rear-ended her Honda Activa near Raceview Hotel, close to Maurya Circle, around 11.20 am.

She fell off the scooter and screamed for help, but the garbage truck didn't stop. It dragged the scooter for almost 200 metres until the two-wheeler slammed into the road divider and screeched to a halt.

The accident has been caught on CCTV camera. The student was wearing a helmet but it was of little help. Passersby rushed her to a hospital but she died on the way. The truck driver just drove off. 

A senior police officer quoted an eyewitness as saying that the truck was driven in a rash manner and appeared to be heading towards the old High Grounds police station.

Police traced the driver's address and went to his house but didn't find him there. The officer said the suspect was possibly drunk at the wheel.

Bidar, Mar 4: The Principal District and Sessions Court in Bidar, on Tuesday, granted conditional bail to five functionaries of Shaheen School management — Abdul Qadeer, Allauddin Pasha, Mehtab Sait, Bilal Inamdar and Abdul Khaleq — who moved anticipatory bail in a sedition case slapped against their school recently.

Conditions

Senior advocate B.T. Venkatesh from Bengaluru argued for the petitioners. Managoli Premavati Mallikarjuna granted bail on certain conditions, including execution of personal bond of ₹2 lakh each.

The sedition case was filed against the Shaheen School management for its children staging a play as part of their annual day celebrations on January 21, in which a character had allegedly delivered a dialogue against Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

While Nazbunnisa, the mother of the child who had allegedly delivered the dialogue in the play, and Fareeda Begum, the headmistress of the school, were arrested, they were subsequently released on bail last month.
