Doctor's Benz hits 5 vehicles, crashes into house; biker killed, 4 injured

March 28, 2016

Bengaluru, Mar 28: A speeding luxury car, driven by a 55-year-old doctor, rammed at least five vehicles over a stretch of 1 km and crashed into a house before coming to a halt in Jayanagar on Sunday. A two-wheeler rider was killed and four people were injured in the accident. benz

Around 2.15 pm, Dr Shankar N H (55), an Orthopaedician, was driving his high-end car. At Madhavan Park, he brushed past a car. Fearing repercussions, Shankar sped towards Byrasandra main road where his car rammed into a bike and two cars, injuring three people. Dr Shankar then sped ahead and rammed into Rizwan alias Ahmed Khan's (52) bike. The Benz came to a halt only after it ran into a roadside house, damaging it completely. Rizwan was killed on the spot, police said.

Swift action by the police saved orthopaedician Dr Shankar N H, who drove his Mercedes Benz car into three cars and two bikes, between Madhavan Park and Byrasandra in Jayanagar on Sunday afternoon, killing one and injuring three. The police secured Dr Shankar in the nick of time.

Lokesh Kumar, DCP (South), said that the police acted quickly and took away Dr Shankar from the spot and shifted him to a hospital, as he was bleeding from his ears. His domestic help Sarita and her child, who were also in the car, were taken to another hospital for treatment.

Around 20 policemen were sent to the spot to disperse the mob. If the police had reached the spot late even by a few minutes, the mob would have thrashed Dr Shankar and set his car on fire, the policemen told Deccan Herald.

The crowd turned a bit violent when Sarita re-appeared with her child at the scene for reasons unknown. A few of them pushed her, but the police took the woman and child to safety. Sarita told reporters that Dr Shankar had an epilepsy attack and lost control over the vehicle.

The airbags in the car saved the life of Shankar and Sarita. As soon as Shankar crashed his car into the house, the airbags opened up. Sampath Kumar, the owner of a grocery shop, said: “As I was coming from the Ashoka Pillar side, I noticed the driver of the Benz car driving in a reckless manner and thought that he would bang somewhere. When I reached Byrasandra, I noticed the damage.”

Almost a year ago, Shankar was booked under the Domestic Violence Act as his wife had approached the police, saying that he was harassing her for various reasons. The police had booked a case against him and even warned Shankar, said a senior police officer.

Family's fortuitous absence
The residents of the house in Byrasandra which was damaged were lucky that they were away when the accident happened.

Nagalakshmi, the owner of the house, said, “Our relatives Somashekar, his wife Rathnamma and their children reside in the house. On Sunday morning, they went to Mysuru as one of their relatives had delivered a baby. If they were in the house, the situation would have been different. Usually, Somashekar and his wife sell coconuts in front of the house and if they were present today, they may have been killed.”

Elections to 7 seats of Karnataka Legislative Council on June 29

News Network

June 9,2020

New Delhi, Jun 9: Elections to seven seats of the Karnataka Legislative Council will be held on June 29, the poll panel announced on Tuesday.

The seven seats are falling vacant on June 30, according to an Election Commission statement.

Members of the Karnataka Legislative Assembly will vote on June 29 to elect the seven new MLCs.

The Commission has directed the Karnataka chief secretary to depute a senior officer to ensure that the instructions regarding COVID-19 containment measures are complied with during the elections.

The counting of votes will be held on the evening of June 29 after completion of polls, as per practice.

The notification for the elections will be issued on June 11, the statement said.

MLCs are usually elected by four types of electors -- MLAs, Graduates, Teachers and members of local authorities.

On Monday, the Commission had deferred elections to four seats of the Karnataka Legislative Council -- two each from Teachers and Graduate constituencies -- falling vacant on June 30 due to the outbreak of the novel coronavirus.

"If MLAs are electors, the size of the electorate is small and the assembly building is the only polling station. When the electorate is teachers or graduates, the number of those who can vote is higher.

Due to the virus, Commission only allowed polls to seats where MLAs are the electors to prevent large gatherings," explained a senior EC functionary.

Flight chartered by ‘Expertise’ repatriates stranded Saudi Kannadigas to Mangaluru along with employees

coastaldigest.com news network

June 11,2020

Mangaluru, June 11: The Saudi Arabia based Expertise Contracting Company, which is repatriating its employees to India and other countries, today allocated around 90 seats of one of its chartered flights to Kannadigas stranded in Saudi Arabia.

The Gulf Air flight took off with around 175 passengers on board from Dammam International Airport around noon local time. It is expected to land at Mangaluru International Airport at around 7 p.m. Indian time.

In fact the company had chartered the flights only to repatriate its employees. However, due to the lack of special flights under Vande Bharati Mission, the company decided to help the other stranded Kannadigas in Saudi Arabia, who had approached Saudi Kannadigas Humanity Forum for help.

A company official said that around 2,000 employees from various countries in the Indian subcontinent are being repatriated, of which 1,665 are Indians. Already hundreds of them have reached India, and hundreds are still waiting for repatriation.

“We are grateful to Expertise for allowing to travel in the flight which the company had chartered to repatriate its own employees,” said one of the passengers before boarding the flight at the airport.

Director of Expertise, KS Shaikh said the 20-year-old Expertise group, one of the largest conglomerates in the GCC operating in petrochemical and heavy equipment sectors, has more than 10,000 employees and their family members in the Gulf, mainly in Jubail, one of the largest industrial cities.

Of these, the company has chosen over 2,000 employees for the covid-related repatriations considering various emergencies. He said 12 chartered flights have been engaged to carry out the repatriation exercise to the Indian subcontinent.
