Kindergarte
Bengaluru, Mar 8: A 36-year-old kindergarten teacher, Uma Ramanan, was run over by a speeding petrol tanker near Thubarahalli bus-stand in Whitefield on Monday afternoon. Her helmet offered little protection from the wheels of the tanker.

According to witnesses, she was trying to manoeuvre around a pothole, but her two-wheeler skidded and she lost control.

A driver, who witnessed the accident, said she fell to right of the pothole and came under the wheels of the tanker that was following her vehicle.

The police, however, say there was no pothole. They have arrested the driver of the tanker for rash and negligent driving.

Ms. Ramanan taught at the The Deens Academy in Whitefield and is survived by her husband and two school-going sons.

We cannot blame anyone. The government should make a system that Heavy vehicles like Truck, Buses, Vans, Pickup all should be in a separate street . Only the cars, scooters, autorikshaw and motor bikes in other roads should be travelled, then only accident percentage will be decreases and safety. Only Ambulance can go in any street . And if we blame government or any one it is not positive behavior.

Mangaluru police have arrested a 27-year-old NRI on his return from Saudi Arabia in connection with an Instagram post allegedly containing derogatory and provocative remarks about the Hindu religion, officials said on Monday.

The accused, Abdul Khader Nehad, a resident of Ulaibettu in Mangaluru, was working in Saudi Arabia when the post was uploaded, police said.

A suo motu case was registered at the Bajpe police station on October 11 after an allegedly offensive post circulated from the Instagram account ‘team_sdpi_2025’. Police said the content was flagged for being provocative and derogatory in nature.

During the investigation, technical analysis traced the Instagram post to Nehad, who was residing abroad at the time, a senior police officer said. Based on these findings, a Look Out Circular (LOC) was issued against him.

On December 14, Nehad arrived from Saudi Arabia at Calicut International Airport in Kerala, where he was taken into custody on arrival. Police said further investigation is underway.
