Madhapur police have charged Lingamaneni Sanjush, 21, son of Janasena Rajya Sabha MP Lingamaneni Ramesh, with causing the death of Bharathi Mukhi by rash and negligent driving. The 26-year-old saleswoman was killed when the Aston Martin Sanjush was driving hit her while she crossed the road opposite Inorbit Mall on August 16.
Police registered a case under Section 106(1) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, an offence carrying up to five years in prison. Madhapur ACP Ch Sridhar said no arrest was made because the charge is bailable. Sanjush was served a notice. Police confirmed he tested negative for alcohol and drugs.
The victim, a Lifestyle store employee, had gone with a colleague to collect lunch near ITC Kohenur and was returning when the accident occurred. The car is registered to Honor Prime Housing LLP. Investigation is ongoing.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Pro-government framings led with the bailable nature of the offence and police denial of any lapse, while critical ones foregrounded the accused being an MP's son and the luxury car make. Each side's emphasis creates an implication each is invested in: one to normalise the legal process, the other to imply special treatment. A careful reader notes that the bailable section is a legal fact, not a police decision, and that the driver's family connection, while newsworthy, does not itself alter the charge. What to watch: whether the investigation produces any evidence of negligence beyond speeding, and whether the victim's family pursues a civil claim or higher charges.
