AAP says case filed against its worker for questioning Somashekar over pothole death
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has alleged that the police filed a case against one of its workers for questioning Cooperation Minister S T Somashekar, in whose Assembly constituency a woman had died in a road accident “caused by potholes”.
On January 30, a 38-year-old schoolteacher riding pillion on her husband’s two-wheeler was run over by a truck on Magadi Road. Her husband is said to have lost control of the motorcycle while trying to negotiate a pothole. She fell off the two-wheeler, and was run over by the truck.
The AAP, which has been holding a series of protests on potholes, suggested that the jurisdictional Byadarahalli police had filed a case against one of its workers, Santhosh Gowda, for questioning Somashekar, the local MLA, about the pothole death.
