TWO Indian nationals were wounded after the motorcycle that they rode on hit a private car at the Mandaue Reclamation Area at dawn yesterday.
Deepak Bhanot and Harphal Bhanot, both living in barangay Dumlog, Talisay City, were brought to the Mandaue City Hospital with bruises in different parts of their bodies.
A Kia Rio sedan driven by Andres Gelay, 55, of barangay Pasil Cebu City, which came from Ouano Avenue was about to turn left to E.O. Perez Street when it was hit by the motorcycle driven by Deepak.
The two Indian nationals were thrown off the motorcycle.

Deepak was issued a temporary operator’s permit, said police./CORRESPONDENT NORMAN V. MENDOZA
3 ARRESTED IN ‘POT SESSION’
POLICE arrested two men and a mother who were allegedly caught sniffing shabu inside the toilet of a videoke bar in barangay Pulambato Wharf, Bogo City, northern Cebu.
Nikki Catarata, 20; Gary Verdida, 27; Ana Lequin, 29; denied any wrongdoing.
Police said members of the Bogo City Anti-Crime Task Force were patrolling past midnight when they were tipped off on three persons having a pot session inside the toilet of a videoke bar near the wharf.
The crime volunteers went to the videoke store and peeped through the hole of the toilet and allegedly saw three persons sniffing shabu.
