Mall employee run over by Aston Martin in Hyderabad, Andhra MP’s son booked

A 26-year-old sales executive at Inorbit Mall in Hyderabad, Bharathi Mukhi, lost her life after being struck by an Aston Martin driven by the son of an Andhra Pradesh Rajya Sabha MP, Lingamaneni Sanjush. The incident occurred on August 16 around 3 pm when Mukhi, along with her colleague, stepped out for a meal. The police registered a case against Sanjush under section 106(1) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, which deals with causing death by rash or negligent act not leading to culpable homicide, resulting in a maximum sentence of five years imprisonment and a fine.

The deceased had suffered a severe head injury, and she was taken to Apollo Hospital where she was declared dead. The police have not yet made an arrest, as the case falls under negligence rather than a remandable section, and it is considered bailable. Sanjush, who studied computer science at the University of Texas, Dallas, works as a director at Black Ridge Energy Private Limited.

The mall management declined to comment on the case, while Mukhi's colleagues remembered her as a hardworking and cheerful young woman who was originally from Odisha.
