Bidar: In a heartbreaking incident near a private hospital in Harurgeri, Bidar, a one-and-a-half-year-old child named Basavachethana lost his life on Tuesday evening. The unfortunate accident occurred when a car, allegedly being driven by a negligent driver engrossed in a mobile phone conversation, ran over the child.

Basavachethana, the son of Satish Patil and Sangeetha, had celebrated his first birthday with a grand celebration just six months ago. The toddler was playing outside Dr. Gurupadappa Nagamarapalli Hospital when the tragic incident unfolded.

The driver, preoccupied with his mobile phone conversation, failed to notice the child on the road, resulting in the fatal accident. The entire scene was captured by a CCTV camera installed near the accident site.

The grieving parents are devastated by the loss of their young child. A case has been registered at the Gandhi Gunj Police Station, and investigations are currently.

Hyderabad (PTI): Soon after taking over as Malkajgiri Police Commissioner B Sumathi went undercover and took up a field visit after midnight on May 1 to assess law and order, including women's safety.

Sumathi assumed charge as the Malkajgiri Police Commissioner on May 1.

On the same night, the senior IPS officer, in plainclothes, moved through the streets of Dilsukhnagar here, standing alone for some time to get a first-hand knowledge of law and order situation, official sources said on Wednesday.

"It was a general checking and she later interacted with police officials," they said.

The sources said about 30-40 individuals who approached her were counselled regarding their behaviour towards women in public places.

Sumathi, who earlier headed the Special Intelligence Branch (SIB), of the Telangana Police, oversaw the long drawn process of the Maoists joining the mainstream.
