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.

Hassan, July 31: A police sub-inspector (PSI) reportedly hanged himself at his official quarters in Channarayapatna town today morning.

The deceased has been identified as Kiran Kumar, 34, who was in charge of Channarayapatna rural police station.

Sources said that he was upset after two murder cases were reported in the last 24 hours in his limits. Kiran reportedly told colleagues an hour before the extreme step that he feared he would be suspended.  

According to locals, the SI was upset after news of the two murders due to alleged negligence of the police spread on social media. He killed himself before a visit by senior officials. IGP, southern range, and SP Srinivasagowda was planning to visit the town and the spots where the murders took place on Friday.

Kiran, a native of Lalanakere village in Arsikere taluk, was known for his rapport with local people. He was alone when the incident took place. His wife and children had gone to Lalanakere for the Varamahalakashmi festival on Thursday night. The body was shifted to the mortuary for a postmortem.

Mangaluru, Jul 12: The Expert Committee set up by the District authorities to inquire into death due to Covid-19 in Dakshina Kannada district declared that the death was due to patients late reporting to the hospitals and severe co-morbidities.

''Many were scared to visit the hospitals for treatment. Any patient suffering from fever, cold should stop self-medication and seek the advice of doctors. From what we have observed, the mortality was among patients who reported late to hospitals. Many had ignored symptoms assuming it to be a common cold,'' Expert Committee members Dr Hansraj Alva and Dr Muralidhar Yadiyal told mediapersons on Saturday night.

Wenlock Hospital Superintendent Dr Sadashiv said of the 38 deaths reported in the District, the expert committee had analysed 35 deaths. 9 persons who died are below 50 years old, 10 are in the age group of 50 to 60 years, 11 in the age group of 60 to 70 and five in the age group of above 70 years.
