Puttur, Oct 24: Two motor bike-borne students were killed after their two-wheeler got involved with an accident near Sunkadakatte in Aittoor village on Kadaba-Subrahmanya road on the evening of Sunday October 23.


The victims have been identified as Laxmeesha (17), son of Duggappa Gowda from Bagpuni in Kombaru village, and Shreyas (17), son of Ramanna Gowda, who belonged to Bilinele village.

At around 6.30 pm on Sunday, both the friends, Laxmeesha and Shreyas, were moving in a motor bike towards Kadaba when their vehicle collided with a Maruti Omni vehicle coming from the opposite direction. It is said that the Omni was carrying pilgrims from Bengaluru who were on their way to Subrahmanya after paying obeisance at Dharmasthala.

Both the students died on the spot. Shreyas had suffered grievous injuries to his head region while private parts of Laxmeesha bore the brunt of the collision.

Laxmeesha was being coached in a private tutorial at Kadaba for appearing for tenth standard examinations, and Shreyas too was a student of this tutorial, it is gathered. The marriage of a degree college student of this tutorial college was to be held on Monday at N R Pura in Chikkamagaluru district and 12 students from the tutorial including the victims had planned to attend this marriage. They had booked a vehicle for the purpose, which was to leave at 7 pm on Sunday. Laxmeesha and Shreyas were on their way to Kadaba for boarding the marriage vehicle but this accident took away their lives before they could reach there.

    with out any doubt , being a local driving guy, I can bet it's because of the irresponsible driving of the guys. What's the havoc driving they are in to now a days... OMG. The crazy driving these youngsters are in to.. like you will be thinking who gave them license , who the hell are their parents who gave such crazy mindset folks these 2 wheelers.. and a thought also comes like why the hell I should save them coming below our tyres... yes, many a times we escape them even though they come as if prepared to bang us or go beneath our tyres... So, unless they really realize what are they in to , such fatal accidents will continue... any ways, loss is for the parents and family.

    ONE thing is clear both were not wearing helmets.parents should take responsibility. Why 17 years boys need motor bike? Whos name it's registered? Must take action against owner of bike. Poor lwa system in India. We will always blame police and some authorities. Maruthi van belongs to Bangalore means he won't drive carelessly as there was pilgrims. Very sad to hear students loose their life. Speed always kills. RIP to both young boys

    Both are 17 year olds and riding a high powered bike!!. Speed thrills but....!!!. I dont even blame parents because today's kids dont listen to parents and will commit suicide at the little pretext!!!. Its counselling in schools and colleges and also strict rules in schools and colleges against bringing vehicles by students not of legal age!!!
