Tanveer Sait misses ministerial berth: Irate supporters protest, Fan attempts suicide
Mysuru: Supporters of former minister Tanveer Sait staged an outcry when he lost the ministership on Wednesday.
During the protest that was staged on Mysuru-Bengaluru Road, one of the protesters tried to commit suicide by pouring kerosene on himself. Police immediately intervened and rescued him.
Protesters set burning tires in the middle of the road when no one became the minister from Mysuru Congress.
One of the protesters said "Tanveer Sait has been elected for the fourth consecutive term. He is a senior Congressman in the district. He would have given a minister post. But intentionally he has been kept out of the cabinet. Earlier, he served as a minister without any stigma. In spite of that, he was not given ministerial berth. It is highly condemnable."
Many protesters including Naseer, Ayub Khan, Altaf, Mahesh, Rajesh, and Akbar participated in the protest.

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.
