The tragedy occurred as the driver of the car, in which the students of Milagras College in Mangaluru were moving on a picnic tour, presumably to Kochi, lost control of the vehicle and hit a roadside tree and a electric post before overturning into a ditch at Kunjathur around 1 a.m. on Thursday causing extensive damage to the hired car, the police said.

The deceased were identified as Farhan, 23, a resident of Kunjathur and Munsar, 22, who hails from nearby Uppala town. The injured students Insam, Sabeed, Unais, Kabeer, Suhaid and Sinan, all in their early twenties, were undergoing treatment at a hospital in Mangaluru.

In another accident, nine persons were injured, four of them seriously, in a head-on collision involving a mini-truck and a car at Kuniya near Periye.

The accident occurred around 10 a.m. as the occupants of the car, proceeding to attend a marriage ceremony at Bovikkanam in the district, dashed against the truck while attempting to overtake another vehicle on the National Highway, the police said.

The four seriously injured persons were rushed to a hospital in Mangaluru, while the others are receiving treatment at a hospital at Chenkala near here.

Bengaluru, Feb 19: Congress MLA UT Khader on Wednesday slammed the Central government over the enactment of the Citizenship (Amendment) Act and said it violates the Constitution.

"The new citizenship amendment bill is unconstitutional. The citizenship cannot be given on cast and creed basis. Because of these things we are fighting against it," he said while speaking to media in Bengaluru.

Opposition along with several non-BJP state governments, including Madhya Pradesh, West Bengal, Kerala, Punjab and Rajasthan have refused to implement the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) and the proposed NRC in their respective states.

The CAA grants citizenship to Hindu, Sikh, Jain, Parsi, Buddhist and Christian refugees from Pakistan, Afghanistan and Bangladesh, who came to India on or before December 31, 2014.
