Hassan Ganesh Procession tragedy: Truck driver in critical condition after accident that killed 9
Mob assaults driver after deadly crash during festival procession
Hassan: The truck driver involved in the devastating accident near Mosale Hosahalli in Hassan district, which killed nine people during a Ganesh idol procession, is now in critical condition after being beaten by an angry mob at the scene.
The driver, Bhuvanesh, a resident of Kattebelaguli village in Holenarasipura taluk, was behind the wheel of a Maharashtra-registered truck when it struck the procession. According to locals, the accident was triggered when a motorbike suddenly obstructed the truck’s path. However, villagers allege that driver negligence and possibly intoxication was the main cause. Police have yet to confirm whether Bhuvanesh was under the influence of alcohol.
In the immediate aftermath, enraged by the loss of lives, local residents physically assaulted the driver, leaving him severely injured. He was later admitted to the Hassan Institute of Medical Sciences (HIMS) for treatment.
Police officials have questioned Bhuvanesh at the hospital but have not yet taken him into custody.
