Police constable found dead in ACP office, kin suspect foul play
At least six people were killed and six others were critically injured when a speeding tanker rammed into their autorickshaw in Telangana’s Sangareddy district, police said on Wednesday
A tanker collided with an autorickshaw carrying agricultural laborers in Telangana's Sangareddy district on Tuesday evening, resulting in six fatalities and six critical injuries. The autorickshaw, carrying 11 women from Rajagiri in Bidar district of Karnataka, was returning to work on a field near Satwar village when the accident occurred.
The heavy tanker was traveling at a high speed from Mumbai towards Hyderabad when it struck the autorickshaw, causing severe damage to the vehicle. Four individuals died immediately, while two others succumbed to their injuries while receiving treatment at a local hospital. The deceased include Rekhamma (36), Kavitha (40), Sridevi (45), Reshma (28), Nikhita (30), and autorickshaw driver Devadas (35), who was a married couple with Nikhita.
Six others suffered serious injuries and were hospitalized, with two in critical condition. Telangana's Chief Minister, Revanth Reddy, expressed shock over the incident and directed district authorities to provide assistance to the families of the deceased and ensure the injured receive the best care. The police have registered a case of accident and are investigating the incident.
This is not the first accident on this highway near Zaheerabad; a separate accident in the same region resulted in the deaths of two individuals when a car crashed into a divider.
