MYSURU: In an incident that highlighted the lack of humanity in today's world, three people who met with an accident died with nobody reaching out to help. A video captured the grotesque scene of three men bleeding on the road after their motorcycle was hit by a bus, and one of them pleading passers-by for help.
In Kolagala village in Karnataka, the man was seen being questioned by a passerby about the village he belonged to, before he was offered water. The injured man, along with another, succumbed to his wounds along with another, while the third had already died on the spot. They were identified as Ramesh, Mahesh and Manjunath, all related to each other. The police informed the victims were travelling on their two-wheeler from their village Joganahalli to HD Kote.
Their family was contacted and it was known that the three men were agriculture labourers. A relative, Naveen expressed disgust over how nobody came to help them and instead just stood there making a video. Doctors said the two could have been saved if they were brought to the hospital on time. A case has been registered and the bus driver arrested.
In a similar incident recently, a 26 year old's body was severed in half after being hit by a speeding lorry near Bengaluru. The Karnataka government had launched a cashless treatment plan 'Mukhyamantrigala Santwana Harish scheme', for road accident victims in memory of Harish.
