The Cyberabad Police have intensified their legal pursuit following a fatal road accident near Khajaguda. The Raidurgam police have formally written to the Regional Transport Authority (RTA) seeking the immediate cancellation of the driving licence belonging to B. Shiva Sandeep Sai Anand, the son of renowned art director and TTD board member Anand Sai.
The incident, which occurred on the morning of August 31, took place on the vital road connecting the Nanakramguda ORR Rotary and Khajaguda. The victim has been identified as Nanda Kishor Kumar Ray, a native of Bihar who was working as a hotel helper in the Raidurgam area. Ray was reportedly crossing the road when he was struck by a vehicle.
A Sequence of Tragic Events
The investigation has revealed a harrowing sequence of events. According to police reports, 21-year-old student Zaid Shah Qadri, who was driving an Innova Crysta, stopped after the initial collision to assist the victim. Another individual, Syed Amer Hussain, also stopped to help. However, while they were attempting to move the injured pedestrian, two other vehicles approaching from the Khajaguda side allegedly struck both Ray and Qadri before fleeing the scene.
Tragically, Nanda Kishor Kumar Ray succumbed to his injuries. Zaid Shah Qadri sustained a fracture to his right leg along with several other injuries. The Raidurgam police utilized extensive CCTV footage from the Khajaguda-Financial District route to trace the vehicles involved. This digital evidence linked one of the vehicles involved in the second collision to Sandeep, leading to the seizure of his Mahindra XUV electric vehicle and his subsequent custody on September 1.
Why This Matters
BozokMedia analysis shows that this incident highlights the increasing complexity of road safety in high-traffic zones like the Financial District. The involvement of high-performance electric vehicles (EVs) and the subsequent hit-and-run elements of the second collision underscore a critical need for stricter enforcement of vehicular accountability and pedestrian protection laws.
The legal move to cancel the driving licence sets a precedent for holding drivers accountable for negligence in high-stakes urban environments.
As the investigation continues, authorities are working to identify the drivers of the two vehicles that fled the scene, which played a decisive role in the fatality.
