Manipal: In a tragic accident reported from 80 Badagabettu a bus owner lost his life under harrowing circumstances. Dayananda Shetty (65), the proprietor of Mandavi private bus, met with a fatal accident while inspecting his bus undergoing repairs at a local garage.
The incident occurred on Wednesday when Shetty visited the garage to oversee the repair work on his bus.
Tragically, he found himself caught under the wheels of his own bus, presumably due to an unexpected movement of the vehicle. Despite immediate efforts to rush him to Manipal Hospital for treatment, Shetty succumbed to his injuries.
The Manipal police have registered a case in this regard and are further investigating the matter.

Manjeshwar: The participation of a CPI leader in a Hindu convention organised by the RSS has triggered discussion in political circles.
Sundari Shetty, former president of Meenja panchayat and a district committee member of the CPI in Kasaragod, attended the Hindu gathering held in Meenja. She offered floral tribute to a portrait of Bharat Mata and also addressed the gathering from the stage, which has led to controversy.
Following the development, the CPI district unit has issued a notice to Sundari Shetty seeking an explanation. Party sources said that the presence of a senior leader of a party that follows communist ideology at a Hindu convention has caused unease within the party.
There are indications that disciplinary action may be initiated against her in connection with the incident.
