Shiam Sunder Shankara Subramanian, 25, of 3224 Country Brook St., was arrested following the Aug. 30 death of 16-year-old Columbus East High School student Lily J. Streeval. He’s accused of attempting to drive around a stopped bus with warning lights flashing and arm signal extended, allegedly striking the victim as she was crossing the rural road to board the bus.

On Monday, defense attorney Brittney Newland asked Bartholomew Circuit Court Judge Kelly Benjamin permission for her client to fly to Iowa for a Jan. 12 job interview.
Subramanian was released from the Bartholomew County Jail in early September after posting a $500,000 cash bond. However, the resident of India was ordered to surrender his passport prior to his release, according to the prosecutor’s office.
On Nov. 12, defense attorneys James H. Voyles, Jr. and Brittney Newland filed a notice to Bartholomew Circuit Court Judge Kelly Benjamin that their client had recently been terminated from his job. He was believed to formerly be a quality control engineer at Faurecia in Columbus.
