On December 2, 2024, a trainee IPS officer fell from a vehicle and died in a road accident in Hassan district of Karnataka. Harshvardhan is a batch officer of the 2023 Karnataka cadre; he was driving a government car from Mysore to the Hassan site to join the duty as DSP. The accident occurred around 4:at 20 PM at about 10 kilometers on the reverse side of Hassan, close to Kittane village.
Initial interrogations showed that the vehicle developed a flat tire on the way, rolled over, and hit a house along the road. Accidents and injuries that resulted in deep head injuries hurt IPS Harshvardhan the most. Despite heated attempts to get him to the hospital in an ambulance, his life could not be saved. The driver of the vehicle, Manje Gowda, has had minor injuries, and he was treated in a hospital in Hassan.
For instance, Harshvardhan recently completed a four-week training program with the Karnataka Police Academy (KPA) Mysore. He was on his way to start his district training in Hassan to formally start his career as a DSP. This was his first time to be posted in the police department as per the expectations of his family members.
Satish’s father absents himself from all the Sikh responsibilities he is expected to undertake in his family, and he is a Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM) in Deosar, Singrauli district of Madhya Pradesh. The sad incident has caused grief to the family, the officer’s colleagues, and all the well-wishers of the young promising officer.
What makes it very sad is that life is so uncertain and random that a promising officer died on the very day he was to begin serving. The police are now sifting through details so as to determine the root cause of the accident. At the same time, the citizens expressed condolences to the department process and the family of the deceased officer, who promised to produce brilliant results in the force.
