Mangalore: Drunken driving by young doctors - two killed


Mangalore: New twist to Yeyyadi accident - police say young doctors were not drunk

Daijiworld Media Network - Mangalore (DV)

Update: February 18

Mangalore, Feb 18: In a twist to the accident case at Yeyyadi that took the lives of two youths, the police now claim that the young doctors whose car caused the accident were not under the influence of alcohol.

The accident occured at 12.30 am on Sunday February 17. Two young doctors, a boy and a girl who were allegedly in a drunken stupor, rammed their car into Yogish and Jayaprakash at Yeyyadi, killing them both.

However, Kavoor police now claim that the youngsters were not drunk, and that it was in fact the deceased persons who were on the wrong side of the road.

A police personnel told Daijiworld that the boy, who has been identified as Shivanand Shetty of Udupi, was on his way to drop the girl at Konchadi, and was on the right side of the road.

The identity of the girl has not been revealed.

Though initial reports stated that the two had escaped from the spot, it was later learnt that Shivanand was admitted to a hospital in the city.

Shivanand Shetty has been released on bail.

Mangalore, Feb 17: In a shocking incident, two persons were killed in the early hours of Sunday February 17 after their two-wheeler was hit by a car driven by young doctors, who were allegedly drunk.

The accident occured near Yeyyadi petrol bunk at around 12.30 am.

The deceased have been identified as Yogish (27) and Jayaprakash (23), both electricians by profession.

Yogish was the son of Chandrahas and Sunitha of Moodushedde, while Jayaprakash was the son of Somappa Nayak and Neelamma of Veerakamba, Kalladka.

It is said that the two young doctors, a girl and a boy whose identities are yet to be established, were driving in a drunken stupor. The Chevrolet car (MH 04 DW 1237), which was at a high speed, went out of control and rammed into several spots along the road before dashing into the two-wheeler ridden by Yogish and Jayaprakash near Yeyyadi petrol bunk.

The impact of the accident was such that both Yogish and Jayaprakash were flung far off. The vehicles skid for a few metres before coming to a stop. The car also dashed into the compound wall of a school nearby.

Sadly, as it was late night, Yogish and Jayaprakash lay bleeding heavily on the road till help came at around 2.30 am, which resulted in their death.

They had returned after some work at Suratkal. Jayaprakash stopped the bike near the petrol bunk to drop Yogish, when the accident occured.

It was later learnt that the youth who was driving the car was admitted to a hospital in the city, while the girl escaped with minor injuries.

Kavoor police have registered a case and seized the car.

    why don't u think before you write such ridiculous comments defending a drunken man on a killing spree..
    A.)he's not a doctor he's a dentist.so how can he help people/patients?by pulling their teeth out
    B.)even if you know him personally that's got nothin to do with this case.hes still a drunk man who killed innocents cause of his reckless driving.i don't think either the girl or the man deserve to be doctors because if u know him "personally"a you claim you should be knowing that he's still a student a dental college and hasn't graduated as a dentist yet.

    Its a common thing for high speed accidents to occur on these concretized roads, as in a hurry to give complition reports basic facilities such as speed breakers, reflectors and proper footpath elavation and barriers have not been put in place. these can be observed on so many other roads, even in front of pabbas near lalbagh the speed breakers have come off, resulting in a lot of high spped accidents. the other important point is the lack of emergency services, the injured men were there for nearly two hours! this is the saddest part of the whole accident. accident can happen in anybodys hand, doctor or not, durnk or not, but what services are being provided to us citizens in such emergencies ?? Instead of blindly pointing fingers at who was at fault, responsible citizens and authorities should take up steps to 1. avoid such accidents and 2. improve emergency response services so that lives can be saved

    The car number plate bears the Maharashtra Registration No. The number 04 on it indicates that the car has been registered within the down town metropolitan jurisdiction. Keeping this in mind, will the Mangalore RTO Authorities get their act together .. onto their basics and cross check with their Bombay (Maharashtra) RTO counterparts if the car belonged to the deceased / stolen etc? Am sure they must have already found the registration papers and identified the rightful owner ... just in case .....

    Based on this, may be they can make a possible headway and things can culminate immediately.

    Am surprised ... what's a Bombay registered car doing on the streets of Mangalore and that too in the wee hours ???? Quiet strange !!!

This is possible.. everything can be changed if you have money & power.. This is one of such example.. Valagina guttu shivane balla..

    Intervention and getting justice is really appriciated which you all never do.....Also how come the accused was admitted to the hospital when none were there to help those poor boys. Something fishy.....Am sure nice bribe would have been given to the Police Authority else how they came to a conclusion so fast when there was no eye witness. Why there is no fair justice to the poor.

    How convinient of the Police.
    Note the below,
    1. The doctor ping the girl home at 12.30 am.
    If the pictures are of the exact crime scene, what is the bumper of the car doing on the other side of the tree. India is a right hand drive. Noting this the bumper of the car should be on the opposite side of the 2 wheeler.
    2. If the 2 wheeler was on the wrong side of the road, a head on collision would for sure turn the direction of the 2 wheeler. Here the 2 wheeler looks like it hus just fallen.
    3. Now if the 2 wheeler was hit from behind, isnt it the fault of the car driver. The impact, does not look like the car was in slow speed.
    4. Since the 2 wheeler look like it is completely damaged from the back side, then even the car was on the wrong side of the road.

    Life of 2 innocent individuals gone. Knowing the procedures, quickly doctors go and get themselves admitted in the hospital to avoid questionning or going to jail.
    Now police say they were not drunk.

    How nice.

The scooter has been hit from behind and the backside of the schooter is fully damaged, while front side looks undamaged, which shows, the poor boys were hit from behind. And if the boys were on wrong side, even the doctors were also in wrong side. File case against those alive, not those innocent boys dead!

    How come the driver who has been released on bail so fast? If it has been done by poor driver just an accident, then he would have been decaying in the police station for several weeks.

    Cannot understand why the driver doctor has left the accident site. Request the social activists to take up this case and fight for the victims. Unless people raise their voices like in the case of Nirbaya, otherwise nothing is going to change.

    It really is amazing to note that we mangaloreans are so opiniated and are willing to speculate on any matter at the of a hat. Let the experts worry about the issue. It is not unheard for a car to lose control while attempting to avoid a wayward two wheeler. Besides the pics clearly indicate that the roads may have been wet and increase the possibility that vehicles may lose control.
    Why is it that any accident in Mangalore is immediately made out to be a result of drunken driving?

    Nowadays majority of the doctors r chain smokers, drunkards...So how can they save lifes
    They dont have their devotion to duty, indeed they enjoy their life by forgetting their profession...
    Dont spare them, let it be a lesson for others....

    In this case as the kannada proverb goes."beliye Yeddu hola Maydhange Aayithu"Doctors supposed to advise others about the bad effect of consuming alcohol and more over about driving under the influence of liquor.This is totally reverse gear applied.

    Indeed it is an unfortunate and sad news.May souls of departed rest in peace.
    But the funny thing here is accident happened because of drunken young doctors.Doctor's profession is noble profession and supposed to save the life of the people.Here in this case this is other way around and doctors killed two young people.
    As some people have commented about BD/Rama sene/Vamana sene,aaSene,ee sene.They are of course there only on certain occasion when there is no need of their presence like on Valentine day etc just to burn some outdated valentine days's card and gain some mileage in front of camera/media.They wanted to be in limelight by showing their faces.But when their presence is genuinely required like places like this accidents,drug mafia,rapes,sexual abuse they are not there for victims safety/security and utter no words.That is the trend of those Bds,Rama/dhooma/vanara sene etc.They are always there for wrong reasons.Their motto is "Present in wrong places for wrong reasons without any fruitful results,show their faces in front of camera with long naama on their forehead.That is all.

In that, their aim is just to acquire the degree by hook or by crook resulting in a very poor product!! Such type of doctors are very dangerous to the Society!!

    I used to always adore doctors like Gods with big degrees behind their names, BUT NO MORE RESPECT AFTER A SERIES OF DISGUSTING EXPERIENCES BOTH ON THE EXPERTISE FRONT AND ETHICAL FRONT!!!

    Our old MBBS physicians who remembered by heart our family history and used to treat us right from toothache to serious issues were the best, and I miss them!!

    @Harold Dcunha, now the Apex court has made it absolutely clear that accident victims should get immediate help first and then all the police formalities and also no hospital should deny emergency treatment, even there is no harassment to the people who come forward to help! A few years ago, I had accompanied a critically injured RTA casualty to a reputed hospital but had absolutely no problems even though I signed for the patient!!!

    It is clear the accused being doctors have escaped the scene to escape stringent punishment of more years of imprisonment if they were medically checked and blood alcohol levels found beyond stipulated limits!!Kissi ka beta, bhai, baap mar gaya tho kisi aur ka kya jata hai!!!

    Now a days the so called professionals, majority of them lack ethics and values and these are white collar criminals.

    Most disgusting part is the accident took place midnight 12.30 am and the help reached at 2.30 am.

    Definitely there may be many vehicles passed during that 2 hrs and nobody bothered to called ambulance nor police. Those who are travelling in vehicle at mid night definitely most of them are white collar persons. Not bothered attitude towards citizens and some of them will come for night vigil protests to show solidarity, photograph and publicity.

    Some thing drastically wrong in our system. Might be, those who help are meeting undue harassment by the police. Administration should build confidence with the public.

    Heartfelt condolenses to the bereaved members of the family.

    Request the authorities to arrest the culprit at the earliest and give them the harshest punishment.

    Doctors supposed to be role models to the society but don't forget they are also human and tend tend to do mistakes. But Generalizing a particular profession due to some unfortunate incidents is not fair. Having said, these two who involved in the drunken driving should not go scot free.

    How ironic that innocents were killed by the so-called "Doctors" who are otherwise supposed to be saving lives!!
    thousands of lives have already been lost due to liquor consumption,how many more have to be lost before the govt. decides to ban liquor?
    the govt. is not interested in banning tobacco,liquor and gutka. A statuatory warning is printed on these saying that they are injurious to health!
    Instead PLASTICS are banned beacuse they INDIRECTLY affect human lives,and helemts have been made compulsory!!
    Why ban plastics? just print it out that they are injurious to man and his environment! let the people choose for themselves just the way they are made to choose for themselves about liquor and tobacco!
    What DIRECTLY kills people hasn't yet been banned!If the govt. is seroius in its concerns over the lives of people, then immediate measures have to be taken to prove it!!

    Drunken driving is banned,but who cares for rules? If rules as important as these cannot be followed, the last thing to do is to ban liquor itself! Not that people won't start smuggling liquor after that,but a lot of innocent lives atleast can be saved!If people don't value their own lives,by drinking themselves to death,they will atleast be able to extend the courtesy of allowing other people to live!
    It's high time the government did something about drunkards and their habits.
