Very sad news. We lost an young lawyer.  May her soul rest in peace.   We should be careful while driving.  We should always keep in mind that speed kills.   It is always better to be late than never.    We should overtake only when there is no vehicle on opposite side.   We will not lose anything if we wait for sometime.   I request all drivers to be very cautious while driving.  May God protect us from accidents.   We should follow the saying "start early, drive carefully and reach safely."

Mr Kumaraswamy, who released 35 video clips related to the violence, had demanded the suspension of the Police Commissioner and also sought a house committee to probe the incident.

Addressing media personnel here, Kunhi questioned, "If the police department did not commit any mistake why is the state government looking worried about the CDs released by Kumaraswamy?"
