Hyderabad: Police officials are advising parents to check on their children and not surrender their vehicles unless or until they are properly supervised after a horrific car accident involving a young man killed two women who were out for a morning walk.
Two women, Anuradha (48) and her daughter Mamatha (25), were killed by Masab Tank resident Mohd Badaruddin Quadri (19), who allegedly did not have a driving licence, while walking in Narsingi in the morning. His car rammed them at high speed early Tuesday. Two others, Kavitha and Inthaab Khan, were injured.
Quadri, the son of a businessman, and his friends are going to a farmhouse for a birthday party. They departed from Shantinagar Masab Tank at around 5am and were on their way to Moinabad when the incident happened. Police then arrested Quadri, who was studying in his first year of the BBA course, and his friend Abdul Rehman (18), who did not have a driving licence, although Quadri did not have a driver’s licence. Gave him the driving car.
CV Anand, Superintendent of Police, Hyderabad, said: “It is heartbreaking that careless, reckless driving, an underage driver killed two precious lives. It is time for our children to be in control and strictly monitor their movements for our benefit.”
VC Sajjanar, Managing Director of TSRTC and former Police Commissioner of Cyberabad, said: “Parents should think twice before handing over a vehicle to their children unless it is under proper supervision. Parents hand over vehicles to their children out of love and affection, Such unfortunate incidents happen from time to time.”
Three students of an engineering college in Ibrahim Putnam were killed by a car on Tuesday. The three were riding bicycles and died at the scene in the accident.
Meanwhile, traffic police in Hyderabad, Seberabad and Ratchakonda have launched special operations against underage driving in both urban and suburban areas. Police special teams are conducting checks at various locations, including near educational institutions.
D Srinivas of DCP Traffic in Rachakonda said special operations will continue in the coming days, focusing on underage driving and three-person cycling offences.
