Davangere, May 29: The verbal dual which erupted between Honnali MLA MP Renukacharya and police officials during the Karnataka bandh called by the BJP demanding farm loan waiver, here on Monday, went viral in the social media.

It is said that Renukacharya and his followers have tried to impose the bandh in the town on Monday.

It is seen in the video that Renukacharya and ZP member Mahesh engaged in verbal dual with Circle Inspector Ramesh and PSI Kadadevara Math.

Bareilly (UP), Nov 24: Three people died when their car fell into the Ramganga river from a partially constructed bridge here on Sunday, police said, adding that they suspect the driver was misled by its navigation system into taking the unsafe route.

The accident occurred around 10 am on the Khalpur-Dataganj road when the victims were travelling from Bareilly to Dataganj in the Badaun district, they said.

"Earlier this year, floods had caused the front portion of the bridge to collapse into the river, but this change had not been updated in the system," Circle Officer Ashutosh Shivam said.

The driver was using a navigation system and did not realise that the bridge was unsafe, driving the car off the damaged section, the police said.

There were no safety barriers or warning signs on the approach to the damaged bridge, leading to the fatal accident, Shivam said.

Upon receiving information, police teams from Faridpur, Bareilly and Dataganj police station rushed to the spot. They recovered the vehicle and the bodies from the river, Shivam added.

The circle officer said that bodies had been sent for post-mortem. Further investigation into the matter is underway.
