Lingamaneni Sanjush, son of Andhra Pradesh Rajya Sabha MP and Jana Sena Party leader Lingamaneni Ramesh, has been booked by Madhapur police after his Aston Martin fatally struck a 26-year-old woman in Hyderabad on August 16. Bharati Mukhi, a sales associate at Lifestyle store in Inorbit Mall, was crossing the road near the mall around 3pm when the speeding car hit her, causing severe head injuries. She was taken to Apollo Hospital in the same car but was declared dead. A case was registered under Section 106(1) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita for causing death by a rash or negligent act, which carries up to five years in prison. Police said Sanjush, 21, was not arrested because the offence is bailable. A notice has been served on him. Madhapur ACP Ch Sridhar said there was no lacuna in police reporting. The Times of India and Gulf News reported that Sanjush tested negative for alcohol and drugs, and his blood samples have been sent for forensic analysis. The Hindu reported the car has been seized. The Aston Martin is registered to Honor Prime Housing LLP. Sanjush is listed as a director of two energy sector firms and studied computer science at the University of Texas at Dallas. An email seeking comment from the MP and his son went unanswered. Further investigation is underway.

## Indian Opinion Analysis

Pro-government framings, such as those from Telangana Today and Siasat, focused on the procedural aspects: the offence is bailable, a notice was served, and the accused was not arrested. Critical coverage, notably from NDTV and Hindustan Times, led with the luxury car brand and the MP's son's identity, implying privilege. M9.news used sensationalist language like "crushed" and "blasting social media." The measured read: the law was followed, but the victim's family awaits justice. Watch for the FSL report and whether the case attracts more serious charges.
