Mysore :M.K. Sudarshan Jadugar, aged 21, resident of Lashkar Mohalla, yesterday rode blindfolded from Siddalingapura to Srirangapatna and returned to Columbia Asia Hospital junction, a distance of nearly 30 kms. Earlier, he did a trial run near the Palace.  He followed all the traffic rules during his 30 km ride.

Sudarshan was originally supposed to ride blindfolded from Mysore to Srirangapatn, but was  denied permission by DCP  M.M. Mahadevaiah who told Sudarshan to undertake the drive from Siddalingapura.

Sudarshan this morning offered pooja at Kote Anjaneya Swamy temple to symbolically begin his blindfolded ride in the presence of Ilai Alwar Swamiji and his friends and sponsors including Heritage Honda in city.

It is said that Sudarshan, who is aiming at entering into the Limca Book of Records, had ridden a bicycle blindfolded across the city in 2008 after being inspired by a show by magicians Ramesh and Uday while he was in a hospital.

M.K. Sudarshan Jadugar is the son of M.K. Keshavamurthy and Vijayalakshmi, residents of Lashkar Mohalla in city.
