Interior decorator killed in hit and run

An interior decorator was killed in a hit-and-run accident on Inner Ring Road, Koramangala, on Friday night.

Tarun Kumar Choudhary (32), a native of Bihar who had settled at New Byappanahalli here around seven years ago, was riding his two-wheeler when an unidentified car rammed the motorcycle. “As Tarun was not wearing a helmet, he died on the spot,” said a source from the Ulsoor traffic police. As the road was poorly lit, eyewitnesses could not note down the number of the vehicle, said the police.

Tarun leaves behind wife and two young children.

Four held

Four persons were arrested by the Devarajeevanahalli police in the early hours on Saturday for allegedly setting vehicles on fire in P&T Quarters . The arrested are Kumar (19), Abhishek (21), John (20) and Vishwanath (21), all residents of Kavalbyrasandra.

They allegedly set fire to two motorcycles, an autorickshaw and two four-wheelers by pouring kerosene around 12.45 a.m.

Commits suicide

The body of a 17-year-old girl was found hanging in a shed near her residence at Bandenallasandra, near Anekal, on Saturday morning.

According to the Bannerghatta police, Uma, who worked at a brick factory in Jigni Industrial Estate, hanged herself with her mother's sari. They were unsure of the reasons behind the suicide.

Uma was a native of Tamil Nadu.
