Kannada actor Komal thrashed in road-rage incident: Police
Bengaluru, Aug 13: Kannada film actor Komal was allegedly thrashed by four youths after his car brushed their bikes in Bengaluru on Tuesday evening, police said.
Komal was on the way to drop his daughter for tuition when the incident happened at Malleswaram, the police said.
The youths, who were apparently drunk, dragged the 46-year-old actor out of the car and beat him up in full public view. Timely intervention of some local residents prevented any major untoward incident, the police said.
With injuries on his face, Komal was taken to a hospital and he was discharged after first aid. Police have nabbed all the accused.
Komal's brother Jaggesh, who is also a popular Kannada actor, alleged that hooliganism had gone up manifold in the city, making the life of ordinary citizens "miserable and helpless".
"I request the police to put an end to such incidents. It is causing fear among the ordinary citizens," Jaggesh said.

Three-year-old girl killed in Bengaluru after being run over by container truck
Bengaluru: A three-year-old girl was killed after being run over by a container truck in Hanumanthegowdanapalya village of Madanayakanahalli on Saturday morning.
The deceased has been identified as Nishchitha L N Gowda (3 years and 6 months), daughter of Lakshminarayana, a resident of Hanumanthegowdanapalya.
According to police, the incident occurred between 11:15 am and 11:30 am when the child was walking towards a nearby Muneshwara temple with her mother Lavanya and her 11-month-old brother Diganth. The mother was carrying the infant while holding Nishchitha’s hand as they walked along the edge of the road.
Police said a container truck (registration number MH-04-HY-2203), allegedly driven rashly and negligently, struck the child from behind. The impact caused Nishchitha to fall, and the vehicle’s wheels ran over her head, resulting in instant death due to severe cranial injuries.
The driver reportedly did not notice the pedestrians walking on the side of the road.
Following the accident, Madanayakanahalli police have registered a case against the truck driver under Section 281 (rash driving) and Section 106(1) (causing death by negligence) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). Further investigation is underway.
