In another tragic incident, a 24-year-old man lost his life in a road accident on his birthday late Tuesday night, January 14, at Malakpet.
The deceased, Mahesh Kumar, was a vegetable vendor from Saidabad. After celebrating his birthday with his family, he left home to meet friends at Nalgonda Crossroads.
Reports say Mahesh lost control of his scooter near the Officer’s Mess function hall, possibly due to high speed. The vehicle skidded and crashed into an electric pole. Despite being rushed to a nearby hospital, Mahesh was declared dead on arrival. Police suspect speed was a factor in the crash.

The deceased, Satwik, was traveling with a companion when the motorcycle crashed into the divider. Initial reports suggest overspeeding may have caused the accident. Satwik died from the impact, while his companion remains in critical condition.
This follows a similar accident on December 27, 2024, when two men, Raghu Babu and Akansh, were killed after their motorcycle skidded off the road and crashed into a divider in the Madhapur police station limits.
