A 20-year-old man, allegedly drunk, hit a woman with his Mercedes Benz in Bengaluru, leaving her seriously injured.

The incident took place when Sandhya was trying to cross the road. Dhanush, who drank too much alcohol, lost control of his vehicle and hit him, causing his death.

After the accident, Dhanush tried to escape but bystanders reportedly caught him and beat him up. Kengeri traffic police arrested Dhanush and he is now in judicial custody for 14 days. He was charged with manslaughter not amounting to murder. Dhanush’s father Veera Shiva owns a private bus travel company.

Traffic West’s DCP confirmed that police took swift action in the case, saying, “We immediately apprehended the accused and he was sent to judicial custody.” he said.

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

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