Bangalore: An inebriated software engineer at the wheel of a Maruti Baleno car allegedly went astray on Sunday night and rammed a motorcycle, a four-wheeler and an autorickshaw, and brought down the wall of a house before grinding to a halt on 7th Main, Milk Colony, near Malleswaram.
Narasimha Murthy, the software engineer and resident of Malleswaram, was returning from a party hosted at a hotel near Milk Colony, police said.
A sloshed Murthy lost control over his car. He first hit a motorcycle on the main road and sped into a narrow lane in an attempt to escape from the spot.
Murthy’s car then hit a Maruti Omni van parked by the roadside. The impact of the crash was such that the van hit the compound wall of the adjoining house and brought it down. The software engineer then hit an autorickshaw parked by the wayside and came to a stop. All this happened at 11.30pm.
Narayan Swamy, the complainant, said: “Our van parked outside the house was damaged. The compound wall crashed and the mangled van was lying right at our door.”
Police have detained Murthy. He has been booked under Section 279 of IPC for rash driving or riding on a public road and under Section 185 for drinking and driving. His car has been confiscated.
