Driver using mobile phone mows down 18-month-old infant under his car; Incident captured on CCTV
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.

UP: Misled by GPS navigation, car falls into river from partially constructed bridge, 3 dead
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.
