Cops snuff out youth's life
DH News Service, Bangalore:
Two traffic policemen were responsible for snuffing out the life of a young man in the City on Monday...


Naresh Kumar (26), a student of SJES College, Madehalli, and a resident of Tambu Chettipalya, KR Puram, died on the spot after the policemen tried to stop him for riding without a helmet.

The incident took place around 11:30 in the morning at Tank Bund Road, Old Madras Road, K R Puram.

Naresh’s helmet was hung on the rear view mirror of the two-wheeler (HP-31-2579) he was riding. When a policeman tried to catch the bike’s handlebar, the rider was thrown off balance and went sprawling on the busy highway. Just then a truck (KA-29-2201) loaded with bricks coming behind ran over Naresh.

The man, hailing from Himachal Pradesh, was on his way to collect his offer letter for a job at the Bengaluru International airport when tragedy struck.

It is learnt that the policemen responsible for the incident were sub-inspector Srikanta Prasad and constable Noorulla (no 4150).
