A 20-year-old man, who was allegedly under the influence of alcohol, rammed his Mercedes Benz into a woman in Bengaluru, leaving her critically injured.

The incident took place when Sandhya was trying to cross the road. Dhanush, who had drunk too much alcohol, lost control of his vehicle and hit her, resulting in her death.

After the accident, Dhanush tried to run away, but bystanders caught him and beat him up. Kengeri traffic police arrested Dhanush and he is now in judicial custody for 14 days. He was charged with manslaughter which does not amount to murder. Dhanush’s father Veera Shiva owns a private bus company.

“I immediately apprehended the accused and he was sent to judicial custody,” DCP of Traffic West said, confirming the swift action of the police in the case.

Dhanush’s father had recently bought the luxury car. Dhanush took the car to a mall near Yeshwanthpur with a friend to drink. After getting drunk, they decided to drive on Mysuru Road, which led to the accident.

In a separate hit-and-run incident, a 26-year-old delivery boy was killed when a speeding car hit his bike while he was on his way to pick up his wife from KG Nagar. This accident happened at 22:20 on Saturday, November 2, on MV Seetharamaiah Road in Gavipura.
