Daijiworld Media Network - Mangalore (SP)
Mangalore, Aug 18: In a tragic incident, Martina Shyamal Neeliyara (27), a faculty of A B Shetty Dental College here, lost her life in a freak accident on Monday night, August 17.
Martina came back after her duty hours, from her college located in Derlakatte near here, by the college bus. After getting down at Jyoti Circle in the city, she boarded a city bus to go home. As the bus was overcrowded, she reportedly, was standing on the edge near the footboard of the bus. Perhaps because of a sudden jerk caused when the driver applied the brakes, she was thrown on to the road and sustained grave injuries. Martina was shifted to a private hospital in the city immediately, but did not respond to treatments.
Martina was the daughter of Jacob Neeliyara, a planter residing on Kulshekhar Road in the city. She is survived by parents, sisters, Dr Sheeba who is in UK, and Sheetal, working as a lecturer in St Agnes College in the city.
