Cops trace car and arrest driver within 24 hours
In less than a day, the Yeshwanthpur traffic police tracked down and arrested a motorist who ran down two delivery personnel in the wee hours of Tuesday. The incident took place near a residential apartment on BFW Road off Tumkur Road around 1.15 a.m.
According to the police, the deceased, Gowtham M. (21) and Sreekanth (27), lived in Manjunathanagar and worked as delivery partners for a private firm. They were on their way home after delivering a parcel in Yeshwanthpur.

The car driver did not stop but sped off. The accident was recorded by a CCTV camera installed in a residential building, but we could not make out the number plate,” said a police officer.
