Six-year-old girl, relative killed in road accident at Tank Bund during birthday outing
A six-year-old girl, Sarakshi, and her relative, Viswanath, were killed in a road accident at Tank Bund during a birthday outing on Sunday. The tragic incident occurred around 2.30 a.m. when a speeding lorry struck the family as they crossed the road. Viswanath, a relative of Sarakshi's father, was carrying the child when the accident took place.
The victims were identified as Sarakshi, 6, and Viswanath, 41, who were residents of Jonnabanda in Old Alwal. The family had been celebrating her birthday earlier in the day, watching a film in Kukatpally before heading to Tank Bund. They had planned to cut a birthday cake near Hussainsagar. The officer explained that Viswanath had stopped in the middle of the road to allow other vehicles to pass before continuing his journey with Sarakshi.
The lorry, coming from the Secunderabad direction, hit the family on the spot. Viswanth sustained severe injuries and was rushed to Gandhi Hospital, where he later died. Sarakshi, however, succumbed to her injuries at the scene.
