Sun, Oct 27 2013Why this young cricketer was in a bike at 2.00 AM in Bangalore roads,was he returning from a booze party,otherwise how can he hit a divider in Bangalore roads as they are very broad and almost well maintained, but I feel sorry for this young Karve kere cricketer, My condolences to the bereaved family and may his soul rest in eternal peace.
