In Hyderabad, a shocking incident unfolded on a bustling street, leaving a young woman from Odisha dead and her family devastated. The victim, 26-year-old Bharati Mukhi, a sales executive from Mayurbhanj, Odisha, was on her way home after a brief lunch break with a colleague. On August 16, as she stepped off the road to cross back to Inorbit Mall, she was struck by an Aston Martin speeding dangerously out of control.
The driver, 21-year-old Lingameneni Sanjush, was captured on video attempting to stop, only to walk away from his vehicle without offering aid. Bharati's lifeless body was rushed to Apollo Hospital, where she was pronounced dead upon arrival. The driver, identified as the son of Janasena Party MP Lingameneni Ramesh, has since been under police custody for drunk-driving and drug tests.
Authorities have registered a case under Section 106(1) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, awaiting the post-mortem report. Back in Mayurbhanj, Bharati's family is left grappling with the sudden loss of their sole breadwinner, who had endured life challenges, including relocating for work during the Covid-19 pandemic, to support her parents and two brothers.
Her mother, Anandini Mukhi, expressed her grief, while her brother Rajanikant Mukhi implored the government for aid, highlighting the financial burden placed upon the family in the wake of her untimely demise.
