A sixth road accident death related to potholes on the streets of Bengaluru has been recorded within the span of a year following the death of a 44-year-old man in hospital after a pothole-linked accident a week ago.
The Byadarahalli police in north Bengaluru have registered an FIR over the death of Suprith J, 44, an employee of a private firm, on the basis of a complaint filed by his younger brother Surakshit J, 42.
According to the police complaint, Suprith fell from his motorcycle after hitting a pothole at the Herohalli area in the Vijaynagar sub-division on August 18 and later died in hospital on August 22 due to injuries from the accident. “Suprith was riding his motorcycle when he hit a pothole and lost his balance and crashed suffering head injuries,” says the complaint.
