Pothole claims life of disabled man in Bengaluru
A 75-year-old disabled man was killed Monday night when a pothole caused him to lose balance and fall off the three-wheeler scooter he was riding near Manganahalli in Bengaluru. The road, which had been dug up a year ago, is yet to be repaired.
The deceased has been identified as Kurshid Ahmed, a resident of Mico Layout. He was employed in a mosque. According to the police, the incident took place around 9.45 pm when Kurshid was passing through the Sir M Viveshwaraiah Layout area.
Kamakshipalya traffic police have registered a case and have started investigation. A senior police officer said, “As it had rained, the deep pothole near Manganahalli on the fourth block of Sir M Viveshwaraiah Layout was filled with water.
