Hanamkonda: Outraged relatives of Gadhe Kavitha (35), killed in an accident on Thursday, staged a protest at Fathima Junction here on Friday.

They alleged that the Kazipet police were showing negligence in handling the case. Kavitha, who was coming out of the St. Gabriel school’s polling station after voting, was about to get on her husband Joseph’s motorcycle when a car hit her dragging her several metres. Despite Joseph’s efforts to rush her to MGM Hospital, Kavitha succumbed to her injuries on the way.
