In a tragic incident, three B.Sc. students were killed on the spot after a lorry hit their bike and ran over them on the airport road near Chikkajala, late Wednesday night.
The deceased Suchit (22), a resident of Kempapura, Hebbal; Harshavardhan (21) from KGF, Kolar district; and Rohit (21) from Chikkaballapur were final-year B.Sc. (Horticulture) students at GKVK.
It is gathered that the trio had attended a friend’s birthday party. After the celebration, they set out on a joyride, with three students on one bike and two others on another.

Police registered a case and began inspecting the CCTV footage from the surrounding area to trace the vehicle.
