Bangalore, July 7: Three labourers who were on their way to work on a motorbike were crushed under the wheels of a college bus near Devanahalli Friday morning.

The accident occurred when Kantharaju (22), Gangaraju (35) and Naveen (23), all residents of Kurubarakunte, were proceeding towards Doddaballapur. Kantharaju was riding the two-wheeler.

According to police, the bike suddently entered the main road near Kannamangala Gate, and the driver of the bus (KA-20/B-6598), belonging to Nagarajuna College of Engineering and Technology, lost control of the vehicle and rammed the two-wheeler.


Kantharaju and Gangaraju died on the way to a nearby hospital while Naveen breathed his last hours later in a hospital. Vehicular movement on the road was affected for over an hour. The driver of the bus is absconding.

A large crowd gathered at the accident spot and staged a flash protest against the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI). K Srinivas, the founder-president of Maruthi Education Trust, Kannamangala, told Deccan Herald that the NHAI had created an unscientific U-turn at the Kannamangala Gate. “The turn should have been some distance away from the gate. A number of accidents occur near the gate due to the turn,” he said.

Venkatesh, general secretary of Taluk Raitha Sangha, Devanahalli, said about 18 accidents had occurred near the Kannamangala Gate over the past two weeks and five people had lost lives in the last 10 days.

“The residents of Kannamangala, Pujenahalli, Hilltore and Jogihalli, who go towards the international airport for construction work, should use the U-turn and move further. There is heavy traffic during peak hours and there is no traffic signal. All this has led to accidents,” Venkatesh alleged.

Noida, Jul 28: A doctor admitted at a private hospital in Noida has been accused of sexually harassing a patient in his isolation ward, where both were undergoing treatment for COVID-19, the police said.

The 20-year-old woman, in her complaint to the police, alleged that the incident took place on Monday and based on that a case was filed at the local expressway police station, they said.

A senior police official said an investigation is underway and there might be lapses on part of the hospital which allegedly admitted a man and a woman in the same isolation ward, in violation of the norms.

The woman and the doctor had tested positive for coronavirus last week, according to officials.

"The woman was in the isolation ward of the private hospital. There was a man, a medical practitioner, who too was infected with coronavirus and was sharing the ward with her," Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police, Noida, Ranvijay Singh said.

He said the woman alleged molestation and upon being informed, the police immediately lodged a case and initiated a probe into the matter.

"There appears to be some irresponsibility on part of the hospital too. We are communication with the medical departments to check whether the patients were being kept in accordance with the guidelines," Mr Singh said.

He said the accused is still in isolation but the police will reach out for his statement following due protocols of COVID-19.

"All necessary action will be taken as per the truth that will emerge after a thorough investigation," Mr Singh said.
