Bengaluru: 20-year-old drunk man crashes Mercedes Benz into woman, killing her

A 20-year-old man, reportedly under the influence of alcohol, crashed his Mercedes-Benz into a woman in Bengaluru, seriously injuring her.

The incident happened when Sandhya tried to cross the road. Dhanush, who had consumed too much alcohol, lost control of his vehicle and hit her, resulting in her death.

After the accident, Dhanush tried to run away, but bystanders caught him and reportedly beat him. The Kengeri traffic police arrested Dhanush and he is now in judicial custody for a fortnight. He is charged with manslaughter not amounting to murder. Dhanush’s father, Veera Shiva, owns a private bus tour company.

“We immediately arrested the suspect and he has been sent to court,” the Traffic West DCP said, confirming the police’s swift action in the case.

Dhanush’s father had recently purchased the luxury car. Dhanush took a car with a friend to a mall near Yeshwanthpur for drinks. After getting drunk, they decided to go for a long drive on Mysuru Road, which led to the accident.

In a separate accident, a 26-year-old delivery boy was killed when a speeding car hit his bike while he was on his way to pick up his wife from KG Nagar. This accident happened on Saturday, November 2 at 10.20 pm on MV Seetharamaiah Road in Gavipura.
