Puttur: Traffic cop drives on wrong side, hits bike, father dies, son injured


Daijiworld Media Network – Puttur (MS)

Puttur, Jul 5: In a shameful incident, a man, a staff of city traffic police station, drove his Omni on the wrong side of the road and hit against a bike in which the father was riding and son was riding pillion. While the father died on the way to hospital, son is in a critical condition.

The accident occurred on the night of July 3 at Kumbar on Mani-Mysuru national highway.

Raghunath Shetty (53), resident of Kumbra Panjigudde, rider of the bike is the victim who lost his life. His son Anush is grievously injured and is admitted to hospital.

Anush, son of Raghunath, was to leave for Bengaluru. Raghunath was taking Anush on a motorbike to drop him to the bus stand. In the meantime, Sheenappa, staff of Puttur traffic police station, was driving Omni at high speed on the wrong side of the road and rammed head-on into the bike of Raghunath Shetty. Both Raghunath and Anush were thrown on the road due to the impact of the accident.

A case in this connection is registered in Puttur rural police station.

It is an irony that traffic police, who fines the public for trivial issues, violates the traffic rules blatantly and in this case caused the death of an innocent rider.

    I remember a game we used to play in my childhood days called copy the leader. Here traffic cop did same, copied our leaders and political masters in braking the law as they think they are above law. He should be booked for double murder as he was intentionally driving the wrong side and breaking the inspite of being a law enforcer. He should be given the death penalty for this
