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.”

Mangaluru: No mad rush after lockdown relaxation; people line up in front of liquor shops

coastaldigest.com news network

May 4,2020

Mangaluru, May 4: No major crowds were seen in the coastal city of Mangaluru today except in front of the liquor shops after the district administration relaxed the lockdown norms for 12 hours a day (between 7am and 7pm).

There was no mad rush of vehicles either on city roads when the relaxed lockdown began. There were fewer people to buy essentials in front of grocery and vegetable shops as they had time till late evening.

There was no let down in the number of police pickets as well as curbs on vehicular movement across the city either.

The government has allowed sale of liquor in CL2 (standalone wine shops) and CL 11 (MSIL outlets) to mop up revenues when Lockdown-3 commenced from Monday. Compared the other parts of Karnataka, the size of queues in front of liquor shops in Mangaluru were smaller.

Like other parts of the country, the lockdown was imposed in the coastal district on March 24 to prevent the spread of Covid-19. Prior to that, a curfew was imposed in the district from March 22 midnight. The lockdown did not apply to essential services such as sale of food, groceries, milk, vegetables, fruits, and meat and fish. Gradually the district administration had to intensify the lockdown and allow those shops to remain open only between 7 a.m. and 12 noon.

With the lockdown relaxation extending till 7 p.m., Mangaluru today witnessed people and private vehicles moving freely in the afternoon for the first time in more than a month. However, only those who had to go for work and do other essential activities were seen on roads. After 7 p.m. movements of all kinds of vehicles will be prohibited.

The relaxation was to facilitate economic activities that had come to a standstill during the first two phases of lockdown. Mangaluru City Police Commissioner Dr P S Harsha, meanwhile, warned the people against misusing lockdown relaxation and venturing out without any genuine reason.
