The Story in Brief
Priyanka, the 24-year-old medical student critically injured in a hit-and-run in Rajahmundry, died at KIMS Hospital in Secunderabad at 3.25 pm on Sunday, the hospital confirmed. She was pursuing her post-graduation in dermatology at GSL Medical College.
On August 3, Priyanka and a classmate were on a two-wheeler near Prasad Aditya Mall when Suravarapu Dushyanth and Andrew William Joseph, allegedly drunk, hit them with their car, then struck again, causing Priyanka to fall and suffer severe brain injury. She was shifted from a local hospital to KIMS as her condition worsened.
The Indian Opinion
This death has rightly sparked outrage, but the narrative that drink-driving cases go unpunished must be checked against the conviction rate in Andhra Pradesh. Police have arrested both accused. The real test will be how fast the trial concludes and whether the families get justice. Will this case see a verdict within a year, or will it languish like so many others?
