A retired woman police officer, who served with the Tamil Nadu police, has died in Chennai on Monday after a bike collision. The incident has happened when she was travelling in her two-wheeler and she has died on the spot. Several police officers had paid tribute to the departed soul and a case has been filed for further probe. 

According to reports, 60-year-old Selvakumari had retired from the police department as a police inspector in 2008. On Monday, she was travelling on Chennai's Old Mahabalipuram Road (OMR) after meeting a friend at the police quarters in Melakottaiyur. She was riding her own two-wheeler and she was hit by the speeding bikers. The brutal collision has knocked her down and killed her on the spot. 

She was hit by a high-end race motorbike which had two youths riding it. The eye-witnesses had said that the bikers are coming on a full speed and immediately after the collision, the retired police inspector was thrown off her two-wheeler. One of the bike riders, 25-year-old  Vishwa, a resident of Mudichur, has sustained grave injuries and has been hospitalized with a fracture.  

Selvakumari was taken to the nearby hospital where she was declared brought dead. Selvakumari's husband, 63-year-old Sundaravathanam is a retired additional DSP with a CID special branch. Speaking to IANS, R Radhakrishnan, a software engineer who lives near the OMR said, "The bike stunts are routine in his area and on holidays, it is much more frequent. Ordinary people and the elderly who are travelling for their small purchases and house visits are suffering due to this undue pace of two-wheeler racing." 

"This accident is a result of lethargy of the local police even after we have complained several times against this", Radhakrishnan added.  The reports say that one among the group of bikers had rammed into Selvakumari and after she collapsed, she was run over by the other biker who was also racing in her direction.
