    This was bound to happen, the entire road was blocked & there was a one way traffic for the stretch of Kambla field
    Was in Udupi for a Day - it was a nightmare to travel by road on that stretch between mlore n udupi.
    Anyways - understand Sudhir was a colleague of our relative ! RIP

    Looks like police bike was on wrong side of the road.

    On these roads, bikes and autos also go on the wrong side because they have to take a turn.

    so shortcut is given a permanent cut

    its very sad news.
    if somebody hurts your own blood{ police} .. so there is SP.. ASP. ACP. SI. CIRCLE SI. ASI... ETC ETC ..BLA BLA..
    IF COMMON MAN DIES .. The police will arrive late .. After 1 HOUR.. EVEN AMBULANCE WILL COME ..TO CARRY dead body.. Not to save lives,
    This is the reality of POLICE DEPT..ANYWAYS EVEN AFTER THIS ACCIDENT,, police will come action against accidents.
    Hope all best in future..?????????????
