Local authorities, including the Pocharam IT corridor police, have registered a case of negligent driving against the unidentified driver of the red car involved in the incident. Babu was rushed to Vajra Hospital and later transferred to Kamineni Hospital, where despite efforts, he succumbed to severe injuries.
The car driver wasn’t expecting anyone to be on the road as it looks like the man was not visible due to the vehicles ahead. The car driver was in speed and couldn’t be able to slow down the car in that short window and ended up hitting Boddu Giri Babu. The video also shows the car slowing down and almost parking the car on the left side, but he didn’t stop and speed up and was seen fleeing from the scene as locals started gathering.
