At 9.20pm on Sunday, Ashwin, a native of Haveri district, was returning home from a restaurant, where he had gone to buy food for his mother
A police officer said there was a delay of 20-25 minutes in shifting Ashwin’s body to the hospital and that he had lost a lot of blood by the time he reached there.
“Two days ago I told him to ride carefully and specifically told him about the potholes which posed a danger. I am alive only because of him and have struggled a lot to raise him. But now I do not have a purpose to live. No mother should go through this pain,” his mother Vasudha said. Ashwin was her only son.
