Mangaluru, Aug 7: In an apparent drunk driving case, a speeding car rammed into an auto-rickshaw parked at the auto-rickshaw stand in front of KMC Hospital near Dr Ambedkar Circle in the heart of the city late last night.

At least four auto drivers who were waiting for customers suffered injuries in the mishap. One among them breathed his last at a hospital. The auto-rickshaw was almost reduced into a bundle of metals while the car was also damaged.

It is learnt the black Ritz car bearing registration number KA 20, P 1812 coming from Bunts Hostel Road, crossed the Balmatta Road at a high speed and entered the auto-rickshaw stand.

The other auto-rickshaw drivers managed to catch the driver of the car who was under the influence of alcohol. Another occupant of the car managed to escape. Liquor bottles were also found inside the car.

A case has been registered at Mangaluru East Police Station and investigations are on.

New Delhi, Feb 3: BJP MP Anantkumar Hegde's swipe at Mahatma Gandhi has irked the top party leadership and he may be forced to apologise, party sources said on Monday.

A senior BJP leader said the Karnataka leader's comments were "condemnable" and the party leadership is upset with him.

"The party has conveyed its displeasure to him and asked him to take remedial measure. Any insult to Mahatma Gandhi is unacceptable," he said.

Hegde, a former Union minister, reportedly claimed at an event in Bangaluru that the entire freedom movement was staged with the consent and support of the British, and the independence movement led by Gandhi was a "drama".

He also wondered why the Father of the Nation was called 'Mahatma' (a great soul).

The party leader said the Lok Sabha MP is a "disciplined" member of the party and will do what he has been asked to.

Hegde, known for hardline Hindutva leanings, has a history of making controversial remarks.

This man and some others like him have reached the peak of their madness.

 

They will not change their attitude, as they know that nobody can do any harm to them.

 

Therefore they will listen only to dire action what they deserve per the penal code. If required put him behind bars.

Dont harm them more, see their families.
