In the incident caught on camera, the officer was seen bleeding with agonizing pain for about 30 minutes in his mangled jeep, even as scores of bystanders at the accident site clicked pictures. He was then rushed to a nearby hospital by the authorities.
The incident occurred on Saturday near Alanahalli on Mysuru-T Narasipura road here, when Inspector Mahesh Kumar of the District Crime Branch along with his driver Lakshman (32) were on their way to Suttur in their official jeep.
Video footage of the scene soon after the accident has surfaced since then.
Lamenting that a life had been lost despite awareness programmes about timely help to accident victims, officials said a case has been registered
about the incident where the jeep and state transport bus collided headon.
