Lokayukta Police Inspector Burnt Alive After Car Bursts Into Flames on Dharwad Highway

Dharwad: In a horrifying incident on Thursday, Lokayukta Police Inspector P. Salimath was burnt alive after his i20 car went up in flames following a collision on the national highway near Annigeri, Dharwad district.

According to preliminary reports, the vehicle hit a road divider at high speed, triggering an immediate fire that engulfed the car within seconds. The flames spread rapidly, leaving Salimath trapped inside with no escape route. By the time passersby alerted emergency services, the car was already reduced to ashes.

Inspector Salimath, who was serving at the Haveri Lokayukta Police Office, was reportedly on his way to Gadag to meet his family when the tragedy occurred.

Fire brigade personnel rushed to the spot, but the officerโ€™s body was found completely charred. Police said that the intensity of the blaze made rescue impossible.

The Annigeri Police Station has registered a case and initiated further investigation to determine the exact cause of the accident, including whether a mechanical fault or overspeeding triggered the fire.

Authorities are also reviewing CCTV footage from nearby highway points.
