According to the police, the incident occurred around 1 pm, when the two were returning on Chandrashekar’s bike after attending a wedding. When they reached the Indian Oil Corporation filling station at Kothur, the driver of a truck from Tamil Nadu suddenly took a diversion towards the filling station.

“The truck collided with the bike, which was on the left side. As a result, Chandrashekar lost control of the vehicle and the bike skidded and came under the rear wheel of the truck,” police said, adding that both died on the spot.
