Udupi, May 23: Former Shimoga MP K G Shivappa (70) passed away after a prolonged illness at the Adarsh Hospital here on Tuesday. He was severely injured in a car accident at Kumsi in Shimoga district in December 2010 following which he was hospitalised in Bangalore and later in Udupi.

Shivappa was elected to Lok Sabha as a Congress candidate from Shimoga constituency in 1991 by defeating the former Chief Minister B.S.

Shivappa, who again contested the Lok Sabha election in 1996 as Congress candidate was humbled by the former Chief Minister S. Bangarappa. He later joined the Bharatiya Janata Party.

He was also a relative of the former Chief Minister late S. Bangarappa and father-in-law of the former Karkala MLA and BJP leader V. Sunil Kumar. Shivappa is survived by wife, two daughters and a son. Minister for Primary and Second Education Vishweshwar Hegde Kageri and Udupi MLA Raghupati Bhat visited the hospital to offer their last respects.

His body was later taken to his native village Kodkani in Sorab taluk. The former Minister Kumar Bangarappa and Mr. Sunil Kumar were at the cremation.

The last rites were performed at Tyagarti village, near Sagar in Shimoga district on Tuesday evening. Among those present in Sagar were Sorab MLA H. Halappa, the former MLAs G.D. Narayanappa and Swamy Rao.

Mangaluru, Aug 7: A woman suffered critical injuries after a speeding car knocked down her scooter and then ran over her at Kadri Kambla Junction in the city today.

The woman identified as Vanishri Bhat (22) a resident of Kedila from Puttur. 

A CCTV footage of the accident, which went viral on social media, shows the car hitting the scooter, pushing the woman on road for a couple of meters before climbing over her.

The car stopped when she was under it. A few people including a policeman lifted the car from the front and rescued the woman. 

She was immediately taken to a private hospital in Mangaluru City MLA U T Khader’s car which was passing through that way. 

She has suffered critical injuries on her head, ribs, hands and legs, sources said. She is reportedly responding to treatment. 

It may be recalled that in December last year a lorry-auto accident at the same spot claimed life of a 56-year-old teacher while the auto driver miraculously survived. Following the accident, speed breakers were installed at the junction.
