HYDERABAD: A food delivery executive was killed and another biker hurt when a car driven by a woman techie ran amok at Dairy Farm road in Alwal on Wednesday night. After hitting the two bikers, the woman rammed into a sugarcane juice cart, a fast food stall and an electric pole before the car finally came to a halt.
Police have booked a case against the techie, A Shivani, from Kanajiguda.
While police suspect that the techie accidentally pressed the accelerator instead of brake after the initial contact with the bikes, the woman claimed she had become dizzy as her blood pressure had dropped. The woman has a valid licence and was not drunk, police said.
Shivani, who is set to get married in a few days, was coming back from a tailor with two other people when the accident happened around 10.20 pm, police said.
"The deceased, Rasapuram Raju, 31, from Gandhi Colony in Secunderabad, suffered severe injuries and was declared brought dead at a nearby hospital. The other biker, Raj Kumar, a private employee, also suffered bleeding injuries. Luckily, no one else was hurt as the road side stall was closed. But the cement electric pole was damaged," Alwal SI Ramulu said.
Immediately after the incident, police reached the place and seized the Kia car which still has a temporary registration.
Shivani was reportedly taken into custody and a case was booked against her under IPC sections 304-a (causing death due to rash or negligent act) and 337 (causing injuries due to rash or negligent act).
