The intensity of the collision was such that the electric pole broke into two pieces and fell on the same car badly damaging it besides injuring its four occupants.

While a 20-year-old man identified as Ismaeel (20), suffered severe injuries, the three others suffered minor injuries.

The incident occurred at around 3 a.m. The presence of mind of local residents and police averted a tragedy when the repeated phone calls to Mescom office landline remained unanswered.

It is learnt that the police personnel rescued the occupants of the car by lifting the electric pole using available equipments. Later, the police went to the Mescom office and fetched the linemen in their jeep.

A case has been registered at jurisdictional Ullal police station and investigations are on. The swift car also was seized by the police.

Tumakuru, Jan 8: RSS leader Kalladka Prabhakar Bhat stoked controversy on Wednesday by stating that 'Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) is full of traitors'.

He was addressing the media after taking part in a pro-CAA rally organised by National Citizens Forum near the office of the deputy commissioner of the district here.

Bhat said, “JNU is full of traitors. Congress and communist parties have been generating anti-nationals there. But there is no need to close the university down. Modi government will handle it.”

“Nationalism should be infused among the students there through love and trust. They should be made to realize what the truth is,” he said.

Unfortunate, still he has poor followers to believe him.

He is safe at home and sacrifiers are poor boys who blindly believe and obey him.

 

This guy is sick and irriversible.

God will reward him so that his followers believe his exploiting orders.
