The incident took place on Sunday on Al-Qassim road when the family hailing from Montepadavu village in Mangaluru taluk was returning to Jubail city in a car after visiting holy cities of Makkah and Madinah to perform Umrah.

The deceased have been identified as Abbas (29) and his mother Khatheejamma (50). Mainaz (20) and Mohammed (60), the wife and father of Abbas respectively also suffered injuries.

Abbas, who had been working for a construction company in Jubail in the eastern province of Saudi Arabia, had invited his wife and parents to the Kingdom nearly 15 days ago.

Last week, the four members of Abbas' family and another four members of a Kerala based expatriate family from Jubail went for Umrah in a Toyota Fortuner car.

While returning from the pilgrimage, the driver lost control over the car nad accidentally rammed into a road median at around 2:00 a.m. on Sunday.

The intensity of the crash was such that the car was reduced into a bundle of metals killing two people on the spot. The injured were rushed to a nearby hospital by those who witnessed the tragedy.

The Kerala based family including the driver and his wife also sustained major injuries in the crash. A 4-month-old baby is said to be in a critical condition.

It is learnt that Abbas and Mainaz had entered into wedlock only a few months ago. Mainaz hailed from Mulki Kannagar village.

On hearing the news, Karnataka health minister and local MLA UT Khader visited the house of the bereaved family at Montepadavu and consoled the aggrieved members.

Bengaluru, Mar 19: Karnataka High Court on Wednesday rejected the plea by Congress leader Digvijay Singh seeking directions to the police to allow him to meet rebel Madhya Pradesh Congress MLAs who are lodged in Bengaluru.

Earlier in the day, Singh said at a press conference, "I have filed a plea in the Karnataka High Court, seeking permission to meet Madhya Pradesh Congress MLAs who are putting up at Bengaluru. I have decided to be on fast and shall take a call on that after the decision of the Supreme Court and the High Court," Singh said at a press conference here earlier.

Singh said, "The BJP is busy in toppling duly-elected governments. We had successfully thwarted their plans to destabilise the MP government but we were let down by Jyotiraditya Scindia who had a very successful career in Congress."

"We never expected that he would ditch us and join hands with the BJP," he added.

The Congress leader also said that the BJP government had become insecure since the Kamal Nath-led government started tightening the laws on mining.

"Chief Minister Kamal Nath drafted a new mining policy for the sand under which the mines were allotted through auction. All this was unpalatable to the BJP and from Day 1 they started offering money to our Congress legislators," he said.

"In BJP, the Atal Bihari Vajpayee's kind of leadership no longer exists. The leadership which controls the BJP now includes people who have joined hands to do all kinds of unscrupulous things which has led to a stage in India where the banks are collapsing, non-performing assets and unemployment are growing," he added.

Earlier today, he was put under preventive arrest after he sat on a dharna near Ramada Hotel here allegedly for not being allowed to meet the 21 rebel Congress MLAs lodged in the hotel.
