Hyderabad: Morning walk turns tragic after speeding car kills mother, daughter

According to the police, the victims among whom were a mother and child, were out for a morning walk when a car rammed into them at Bandlaguda road in the morning.

Hyderabad: A pall of gloom descended at Shantinagar in Bandlaguda after the locals got to know about the death of Anuradha and Mamatha in a ghastly road accident while they were out on a morning walk, early on Tuesday morning.

A few locals including the house owner had noticed the mother and daughter leaving the house for a morning walk around 6 am. Another woman from the neighbourhood Kavita had joined them when the accident happened near the Army Public School on Bandlaguda road.

Anuradha had moved into the rented house at Shantinagar a couple of years ago while her daughter Mamatha had joined her a month ago. Anuradha’s husband stays at Rampally in Keesara and takes care of his business.

“Mamatha who previously worked in Bengaluru had joined a company in Miyapur. She had also appeared for an examination and would have landed with a job in two to three months,” said her father, Srinivas.

Srinivas and Anuradha have a son Sai Prasad and daughter Mamatha. “I had seen the video. The driver drove very dangerously. He should be punished as I lost two members of my family to his rash driving. The police should make a proper case,” he demanded.

Another relative said Anuradha was health conscious and regularly went for walk in the morning. “It was a regular routine for her for years and her daughter too joined in. They took precautions to stay safe because of the huge volume of traffic on the road. Despite of it, they became victims of negligent driving,” he said.

The post-mortem examination of the bodies was delayed as the police were busy attending the investigation. Only after 4 pm did the police personnel arrive at the mortuary and completed the procedures. The bodies were handed over to the family around 8 p.m in the evening for final rites.
