B’luru: Another case of outrageous driving, delivery boy’s body dragged for 100m after accident
Bengaluru: A delivery boy lost his life in a devastating hit-and-run accident near Rajarajeshwari Nagar Metro Station on Sunday night, according to police reports. The victim, identified as Prasanna Kumar, hailed from H.D. Kote in Mysore district and worked as a delivery boy for a popular food delivery app.
The incident occurred late at night when a car collided with Prasanna's bike from behind, resulting in a horrific accident. Shockingly, the car did not stop after the collision, dragging the young man's body for nearly 100 meters. The driver, identified as Vinayak, was eventually apprehended by an outraged public and handed over to the police.
Preliminary investigations revealed that Vinayak, employed as a sales executive at a local car showroom, had recently received an incentive and decided to celebrate with his friends. Unfortunately, they were reportedly intoxicated as they traveled in the car, which also included three female passengers. Their intention was to drop off one of their friends in Rajarajeshwari Nagar.
Eyewitnesses recounted the shocking sequence of events, stating that the car crashed into Prasanna's bike and continued to drive without stopping, dragging his lifeless body along the road. A courageous group of passers-by, who witnessed the accident, chased the car for approximately one kilometer until they managed to apprehend the driver.
Local residents informed the police that three girls and another boy who were in the car managed to flee the scene before the public intervened. Enraged by the incident, the mob damaged the car's windows and handed over the accused driver to the Byatarayanapura traffic police.

Another North Goa nightclub sealed; Kejriwal says corruption led to fire tragedy
Panaji (PTI): As part of a crackdown against tourist establishments violating laws and safety norms in the aftermath of the Arpora fire tragedy, Goa authorities on Saturday sealed a renowned club at Vagator and revoked the fire department NOC of another club.
Cafe CO2 Goa, located on a cliff overlooking the Arabian Sea at Vagator beach in North Goa, was sealed. The move came two days after Goya Club, also in Vagator, was shut down for alleged violations of rules.
Elsewhere, campaigning for local body polls, AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal said the fire incident at Birch by Romeo Lane nightclub at Arpora, which claimed 25 lives on December 6, happened because the BJP government in the state was corrupt.
An inspection of Cafe CO2 Goa by a state government-appointed team revealed that the establishment, with a seating capacity of 250, did not possess a no-objection certificate (NOC) of the Fire and Emergency Services Department. The club, which sits atop Ozrant Cliff, also did not have structural stability, the team found.
The Fire and Emergency Services on Saturday also revoked the NOC issued to Diaz Pool Club and Bar at Anjuna as the fire extinguishers installed in the establishment were found to be inadequate, said divisional fire officer Shripad Gawas.
A notice was issued to Nitin Wadhwa, the partner of the club, he said in the order.
Campaigning at Chimbel village near Panaji in support of his party's Zilla Panchayat election candidate, Aam Aadmi Party leader Kejriwal said the nightclub fire at Arpora happened because of the "corruption of the Pramod Sawant-led state government."
"Why this fire incident happened? I read in the newspapers that the nightclub had no occupancy certificate, no building licence, no excise licence, no construction licence or trade licence. The entire club was illegal but still it was going on," he said.
"How could it go on? Couldn't Pramod Sawant or anyone else see it? I was told that hafta (bribe) was being paid," the former Delhi chief minister said.
A person can not work without bribing officials in the coastal state, Kejriwal said, alleging that officers, MLAs and even ministers are accepting bribes.
