Aston Martin kills woman in Hyderabad, MP’s son says he helped

A 26-year-old woman from Odisha, Bharati Mukhi, was killed after a speeding Aston Martin hit her near Inorbit Mall in Hyderabad on August 16. The driver, 21-year-old Lingameneni Sanjush, is the son of Janasena Party Rajya Sabha MP Lingameneni Ramesh. Police have registered a case under Section 106(1) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita for causing death by rash or negligent driving, which is a bailable offence. Sanjush has not been arrested. He tested negative for alcohol and drugs, police said.

Sanjush released a statement saying he did not flee the scene, took Mukhi to Apollo Hospital in his car, and later went to the police station on his own. He expressed grief and urged investigators to consider his actions. The Times of India reports that video of the incident shows Sanjush walking back to his car to get his phone after the crash, which sparked outrage. Mukhi was the sole earner for her family of five in Mayurbhanj, Odisha, and her brother has appealed for government assistance.

Madhapur police have seized the vehicle and are awaiting the post-mortem report. Cyberabad police commissioner M Ramesh Reddy said all procedures have been followed. The MP's father, Lingamaneni Ramesh, said his son is cooperating and urged against prejudging the case, as reported by NDTV.
