In a report published by TNIE, Usha’s husband, Raja has been quoted as saying, “We stopped when the cop stopped us. He took the key from my bike and later kept it back. So I thought the cop allowed me to go. But my wife told me that he was following. He kicked the bike thrice, after which I lost balance. My wife fell down and when I tried to lift my wife she was unconscious. Blood was pouring out from her ears. She breathed her last in these hands.” The traffic cop was arrested following the death of Usha.
