The scooter was being driven by Aravind Muralidharan, a second-year PU student of Presidency College in Kempapura and a resident of Ganganagar in R.T. Nagar. Another two-wheeler rider was badly injured.

According to the police, the accident happened between 9.15 and 9.30 a.m. on the busy international airport road diagonally opposite Columbia Asia hospital.

The car driver, Anita Sen, was going from Yelahanka New Town to her office in Cox Town. She is a graphic designer.

Sen was also injured and admitted to Columbia Asia Hospital. The police are waiting for her to recover before questioning her. “She is in a state of shock,” a source in the police said.

What happened

According to witness accounts, Sen was manoeuvring her car from the service road on to the main road near the ramp in Kempapura when she lost control of the vehicle. She rammed into the median, but the car did not stop on impact. Instead, it crossed over to the other side and collided with Aravind's bike.

Aravind sustained grievous head injuries and was rushed to Columbia Asia Hospital where he was declared dead on arrival.

When hit by the speeding car, his bike was tossed in the air. On landing, it hit another two-wheeler driven by Vijay Hiremath (40), a contractor. Vijay sustained multiple fractures.

“All the three vehicles were badly damaged. The motorists following Aravind and Vijay had a narrow escape,” a senior police officer said.

Woman booked

The Hebbal traffic police have registered a case against Anita Sen under Section 304A (death due to negligence) and Section 279 (rash driving or riding on a public way) of the Indian Penal Code.

“We have registered a case of causing death by negligence and rash driving on a public highway against the car driver. We are in the process of scrutinising the licences and other documents of the driver and riders of the three vehicles involved in the accident,” said Renuka Sukumaran, DCP North Division (Traffic).

Traffic movement on the busy Ballari Road was disrupted for about an hour after the accident.

Bengaluru, May 12: In a scathing attack on the ruling BJP in Karnataka and warning the Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa government against any move to amend the Labour laws and APMC through an ordinance, former chief minister and JDS leader H D Kumaraswamy on Tuesday asked Mr Yediyurappa to work in the interest of the people and not to budge under any pressure from the Centre or to please party bosses.

Speaking to media here on Tuesday he questioned the urgency to bring forward such ordinances on important subjects and asked the government to have a public debate on it and also discuss it in the assembly.

“I'm warning the government… I have been watching everything silently till now, I have not caused any embarrassment to the government. I want to tell the government, don’t push us to do it,” Kumaraswamy said

Hubli, Mar 9: A Hubli court on Monday rejected the bail application of three Kashmiri students, who were booked for sedition, after their video allegedly raising pro-Pakistan slogans went viral.

The plea was filed under Section 439 of CrPC.

This comes after the Hubli Bar Association earlier withdrew its resolution against representing the three Kashmiri students and said that advocates who wish to appear for them can approach Dharwad Principal District Court to file bail plea.

The three students are Basit Ashik Sophi (19), Talib Majid (19) and Amir Mohiuddin (23). They were booked under sedition charges for raising pro-Pakistan slogan in a video shared on social media.

They were earlier transferred to Belgaum Hindalga jail from Hubli sub-jail and the case, registered in Gokul Road police station, was also transferred to the rural police station because the video was recorded in the college hostel room, which is in its jurisdiction.
