Midnight hit-and-run case: Oil leak helps trace killer vehicle
January 1, 2021
Mysore/Mysuru: With nothing more than pieces of shattered windshield discarded by the side of a road and a trail of leaking engine oil on the road, the
V.V. Puram Traffic Police tracked down a speeding cab that rammed into a bike killing a 27-year-old youth last night. The vehicle was traced within one hour of the accident that occurred just after the clock struck 12 am, signalling the arrival of 2021.
Probably this was the first accident of 2021 involving a death that has been reported within the city limits. The Police doggedly pursued the case and was able to trace the hit-and-run vehicle. Now efforts are on to bring the cab driver to book.
