The deceased has been identified as Krithika (5), daughter of Shivappa, a resident of Patladka.

A student of first standard, Krithika had been to a doctor in Kokkada with her mother. On the way back, she was hit by a car while crossing the road.

    it is yet to be established to see whether the driver was drunk or not. The police will investigate the situation and establish the reason for the death of poor child.

    It is unfortunate that a life is lost and the poor parents must be in great distress. May The Good Lord be their solace in their distress.
