Man Dies In Freak Accident Involving Minister’s Fortuner, Driver Arrested

A 62-year-old man has died in a tragic accident involving the SUV of Union Minister Shobha Karandlaje in Bengaluru’s Krishnarajapuram locality today. The minister’s driver is among two people taken into custody in connection with the incident.

The incident took place when Ms Karandlaje, the BJP’s candidate for the Bangalore North constituency, reached the neighbourhood for canvassing ahead of the Lok Sabha election. Her driver stopped the Toyota Fortuner on the road, got down and held the door open for Ms Karandlaje. She stepped out and walked away. At this point, 62-year-old Prakash, who was on a scooter, hit the door and was thrown towards the road. Before he could get up, a privately-owned bus ran him over, killing him on the spot.

The drivers of the bus and Ms Karandlaje’s SUV have been taken into custody and further probe is on, police said.
