Arrest and Investigation
The responsible individuals displayed a shocking lack of accountability in the wake of the accident Narsingi Inspector said: “Badi Uddin and his friends abandoned their damaged car at the scene and proceeded to a farmhouse in Moinabad to celebrate Badi Uddin's birthday, leaving the victims behind.”
However, the police swiftly took action. By scrutinizing the CCTV footage from a camera of an army officer’s house near the incident, the police were able to identify the culprits. The car's registration number, AP09 BJ 2588, led them to trace the accused to the farmhouse where they were busy preparing for the birthday celebrations.
Police have arrested Badi Uddin, Abdul Rehaman, and M Ganesh, and registered a case of causing death by a rash or negligent act not amounting to culpable homicide under section 304 (2) and 337 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).

Srikanth shared the challenging circumstances that led Kavitha to embark on morning walks. "Due to her health condition, Akka (Kavitha) goes for a walk every morning along with her friend Anuradha."
The accident has left the family in a state of shock. Kavitha is a mother of three daughters aged 18, 16, and 11. Praying for her mother's recovery, the youngest daughter is currently staying at a hostel in Vikarabad.
As Kavitha continues her fight for recovery, her family remains hopeful for her well-being and waits for further updates from the doctors.
