    This was bound to happen, the entire road was blocked & there was a one way traffic for the stretch of Kambla field
    Was in Udupi for a Day - it was a nightmare to travel by road on that stretch between mlore n udupi.
    Anyways - understand Sudhir was a colleague of our relative ! RIP

    Looks like police bike was on wrong side of the road.

    On these roads, bikes and autos also go on the wrong side because they have to take a turn.

    so shortcut is given a permanent cut

    its very sad news.
    if somebody hurts your own blood{ police} .. so there is SP.. ASP. ACP. SI. CIRCLE SI. ASI... ETC ETC ..BLA BLA..
    IF COMMON MAN DIES .. The police will arrive late .. After 1 HOUR.. EVEN AMBULANCE WILL COME ..TO CARRY dead body.. Not to save lives,
    This is the reality of POLICE DEPT..ANYWAYS EVEN AFTER THIS ACCIDENT,, police will come action against accidents.
