Earlier on Tuesday, a 22-year-old student died after being run over by a tipper truck while trying to avoid a pothole near Budigere Cross in Bengaluru.

The incident occurred under the jurisdiction of Avalahalli Traffic Police Station on Kempegowda International Airport (KIAL) Road. The victim has been identified as Tanushree.

Police said the truck driver fled the spot after the accident. "He has been identified and will be arrested immediately," officials added.

The incident has triggered criticism against the state government over the condition of roads in Bengaluru. While state ministers have said the pothole issue has been "blown out of proportion" and blamed the previous BJP government for the situation, the Opposition parties have targeted the ruling Congress government over what they term "administrative failures."
