    RIP .Firstly before blaming the truck driver and the bike driver . it is better we follow the traffic rules and also wear helmet while in 2 wheeler. So that we will be saved from major injuries. Negligence leads to these incidents and better we look into the truth before talking against someone...

    Vehicles hitting motor bikes are on the increase. It is yet to be determined whether this is a case of reckless driving.

    However a precious life is lost.

    Hope the police will find out the cause for the accident and the nandani van driver booked if he is guilty.

    ದಿನ ಪತ್ರಿಕೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ದುರ್ಮರಣದ ಸುದ್ದಿಯಿಲ್ಲದ ದಿನವೇ ಇಲ್ಲ. ವಾಹನಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಚಲಿಸುವಾಗ ಸಾವು ಯಾವಾಗ ಯಾರಿಗೆ ಹೇಗೆ ಬರುತ್ತದೆ ಎಂಬುದು ಕಟ್ಟಿಟ್ಟ ಬುತ್ತಿ. ವಾಹನ ಸಂಚಾರ ನಿಯಮಗಳನ್ನೆಲ್ಲಾ ಬದಿಗಿಟ್ಟು ಚಾಲನೆ ಮಾಡುವ ನಮಗೆ ನಾವೇ ಸಾವನ್ನು ಆಹ್ವಾನಿಸುತ್ತಿರುವುದು ಬಹಳ ದು:ಖದ ಸಂಗತಿ. ಇಂತಹ ಅವಘಡಕ್ಕೆ ಯಾರು ಹೊಣೆ ಎಂದು ನಿರ್ಧರಿಸುವುದು ಇನ್ನೂ ಕಷ್ಟದ ಸಂಗತಿ. ಅದೆನೋ ಪರಿಹಾರ ಪ್ರಾಪ್ತಿ ಯಾದರೂ, ಹೋದ ಜೀವ ಹಿಂದೆ ಬರುತ್ತದೆಯೆ? ಮನಸ್ಸಿನ ಆಘಾತಕ್ಕೆ ಪರಿಹಾರವಿದೆಯೇ? ಒಂದು ಕ್ಷಣ ವಾಹನದಲ್ಲಿ ಚಲಿಸುವಾಗ ಸಾವನ್ನರಿತು ಹೋದರೆ, ಸಾವನ್ನು ಜಯಿಸುವುದು ಬಲು ಕಷ್ಟವೇನಲ್ಲ, ಏನಂತೀರಿ?

    milk vans especially carrying nandini milk move with high speed early morning or during peak hour .the drivers behave very rudely.if one driver/vehicle is involved in an accident then other milk van drivers threaten and behave as though theirs is an emergency service

    May your soul RIP bro.. you will be dearly missed.. Condolences to his family. Rakesh, be strong.

    All the comments above makes absolutely no sense. Mlore roads are narrow with potholes everywhere. Its the heavy vehicles who need to b careful on the road. They are the once causing all the accidents. Dont blame the bike riders for this.

    Rithesh has always been very careful while riding and follows all traffic rules. This can never be his mistake.

    Another two wheeler. Why not take action against two wheeler itself, which cannot balance itself on two wheels.

    My humble request to all 2 Wheeler riders avoid it to ride. You may be a victim of not your mistake, a little knock of heavy vehicle is enough for you Comes under the Wheels falling on Road, RIP.

    Rest in peace ritesh, strict action should be taken on this milk van driver he is absconded. His driving license should be seized and he should be thrown behind bars. Fed up seeing rash driving of these van/truck and all heavy vehicles. I request respected police commissioner of city, to look into the matter.
