The victim, identified as Medha from Kerala, was travelling pillion with her friend when the accident occurred in Hebbagodi on Wednesday. “I am saddened by it (the death), and my sympathies are with the family. There could definitely have been a pothole. But a pothole does not mean that the entire infrastructure is poor or that we have not spent money. Following the accident, locals blamed the poor condition of the roads and potholes in the area for the accident.
Speaking on the death, Karnataka Minister Santosh Lad said a pothole does not mean that the “entire infrastructure is poor”. We have spent a lot of money, and every year we provide the necessary justification,” he told reporters.
