Bengaluru: A 24-year old Congo national was killed and two of his fellow countrymen and friends were injured when the sedan they were travelling in rammed a compound wall before jumping a median in Geddalahalli on Hennur Main Road, northeast Bengaluru, in the early hours of Sunday.
Banasawadi traffic police have identified the victim as Asami Baliweb, 24, a Geddalahalli resident.
The police said Baliweb was driving the Chevrolet Sail, while Peotrpee, 27, and Bruno, 32, were with him.
Asami was allegedly driving rashly and lost control over the car, which hit a wall and later jumped the median. All the three men in the car sustained serious injuries and were rushed to a nearby hospital.
Police said Asami succumbed to injuries at 6.20am at People Tree Hospital in Banasawadi. His two injured friends are being treated in the same hospital.
“Asami was a student BCA in a private college near Kothanur. The other two are also students but we are waiting to hear more details from them,” Banasawadi traffic police said.
Beer bottles were found in the car, they added.
Locals staged an impromptu protest in the morning, demanding police crackdown on rash driving by foreign students in the area.
