Udupi: A two-wheeler rider was sentenced to two and a half years in prison and Rs. 10,000 fine for causing the death of a pedestrian by the First Additional CJ and JMFC Court.
On January 26, 2019, at around 8.30 am, the convict Bhoja, an Alevoor resident, drove his two-wheeler recklessly to the extreme left near the entrance to the Muchlikodu Temple in Kukkikatte, Badagubettu Village, and hit Jayalaxmi, who was walking beside the road.
