Kiran, the 32-year-old sacked driver who was arrested by the Subramanyapura police for allegedly murdering a senior geologist, Prathima K.S., outside her house in Doddakallasandra on Friday night (November 3), was furious with her for not reinstating him on the job, said the police.
Kiran, who worked with Prathima for four years, was sacked for being rude and unruly. Prathima, after repeated warnings, sacked Kiran, replacing him with another driver on a contract basis.
A resident of Jambusavari Dinne in Konankunte, Kiran and his father have been working in the Mines and Geology Department as drivers for eight years. He was a contract employee, and he presumed that his services would be regularised and that he would be made a permanent employee in two to three years if all went well.
