Two members of a family were killed and one injured when their motorcycle was hit by a car overtaking a lorry at Dindi in Nalgonda district on Monday. P. Nagaraju, 32, and his sister L. Chandrakala, 22, died in the crash. Chandrakala's husband L. Srikanth suffered serious injuries.
The trio was travelling to their native village in Nagarkurnool district for a relative's last rites. Nagaraju died at the spot, while Chandrakala succumbed on the way to hospital. Srikanth is in critical condition at the Area Hospital in Devarakonda. The Dindi police have registered a case and are investigating.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Most road fatalities in India occur on national and state highways where overtaking on two-lane roads is a common cause, according to Ministry of Road Transport data. Telangana recorded over 5,000 road accident deaths in 2023, with Nalgonda district among those with higher per-capita rates. The Dindi police will file a chargesheet under the Motor Vehicles Act and Indian Penal Code sections for rash driving and causing death by negligence. The case will proceed based on the injured survivor's statement and the post-mortem report, with the next hearing unlikely before the charge sheet is submitted in two to three months.
