Karnataka: Constable hit by sub inspector's son dies
A day after the incident, Appaji, who was on rest at his house, fell seriously ill and he was admitted to a private hospital, where he died.
Bengaluru: A head constable of Karnataka State Reserve Police (KSRP), who was attacked with a key by the son of a KSRP sub-inspector over a minor issue on Saturday, succumbed to his injuries at a private hospital on Monday.
The deceased, Appaji V. (49), was deputed for security duty at the 9th battalion near Kudlu Gate on Saturday night when a car driven in a rash manner entered the gate without halting for checking as per the security norms. Though Appaji, with the help of other constables, chased the car for a distance, the driver sped away.
When the car returned after 15 minutes, Appaji stopped it and asked the occupants to come out. Those in the car, who had gone to the house of SI Yerri Swamy to meet his son Rupesh, picked up a fight with Appaji and manhandled him. After other constables intervened, the occupants called Rupesh on his phone and sought help.
Rupesh rushed to the spot and argued with Appaji for stopping the car. As argument heated up, Rupesh lost his cool, hit Appaji’s temple with a key hidden in his fist. As Appaji’s temple started bleeding continuously, he was rushed to the Victoria Hospital where he was given first aid.
A day after the incident, Appaji, who was on rest at his house, fell seriously ill and he was admitted to a private hospital, where he died on Monday.
Parappana Agrahara police have registered a case and have arrested Rupesh. Meanwhile, the police are waiting for the postmortem report of Appaji to learn the cause of death.
