Special Correspondent

BANGALORE: Road accidents claimed three lives in the city on Sunday night. A 21-year-old man was killed in a hit-and-run case reported from Hosur Road in Madiwala police station limits.

The Madiwala traffic police said that around 11 p.m. they received a message that the body of a young man was lying on Hosur Road near Singasandra. Policemen who rushed to the spot found that a vehicle had run over his head. He was identified as Naveen, a resident of Channakeshavanagar on Hosur Road. Naveen, who had passes his SSLC, was unemployed, the police said. According to the police, some residents of the area suspected that Naveen could have been murdered as he was seen quarrelling with a few people at the accident spot earlier. However, the police said it was a case of hit-and-run. The Madiwala traffic police have registered a case and are on the lookout for the vehicle. In another incident, Thippanna (48), a labourer, was killed on the spot after he was hit by a car. The accident occurred around 7.30 p.m. while Thippanna was crossing the Nagavara Ring Road, near Lumbini Garden, the police said. The Hebbal traffic police have registered a case. Thippanna, a native of Raichur district, was a resident of Amruthahalli here. Another labourer, Vishwanath (27), was killed after a multi-utility vehicle rammed his motorcycle on Begur Main Road around 8.30 p.m. The MICO Layout traffic police, who have registered a case, said Vishwanath, a native of Tamil Nadu, was a resident of Begur.

Burgled

Burglars struck at a police officer’s house in Siddapura police station limits on Sunday night and made away with cash and valuables.

The police said the incident took place at assistant sub-inspector (wireless) Munivenkatappa’s house on 1st Main, Byrasandra. The police are yet to ascertain what all has been stolen as Mr. Munivenkatappa is away on a pilgrimage to Dharmasthala.

In another incident, burglars made away with valuables worth Rs. 2.5 lakh from Vipul’s house in Srirampuram police station limits on Sunday night.

The police said the theft took place at Vipul’s house in Okalipuram when he had been to a second show movie.

Arrested

The Vijayanagar police have arrested a suspended bus driver of Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) on charges of impersonation and cheating.

The police gave his name as Harikrishna (42) of Bangalore, a suspended driver of KSRTC’s K.R. Nagar depot in Mysore district. After he was suspended from the service in 2000, Harikrishna had posed himself as an inspector of the KSRTC, created fake documents and cheated the public of lakhs of rupees by promising jobs in the corporation. He had also cheated the KSRTC by conducting inspection of passengers and pocketing the fine amount collected from conductors, the police said.

Raided

The MICO Layout police on Sunday raided two shops at Vijaya Bank Colony and 1st Stage, BTM, on Bannerghatta Road and seized pirated and pornographic DVDs and VCDs, worth Rs. 75,000.

The police said they arrested the proprietors of the two shops Y. Shetty (28) and Rajeev (32).
