20-Year-Old Drunk Driver In Mercedes Runs Over Woman in Bengaluru
A 30-year-old Sandhya tragically lost her life after being struck by a speeding Benz on Saturday evening. The vehicle, driven by 20-year-old Dhanush, was later determined to have been operated under the influence of alcohol. The collision occurred when Sandhya was crossing the road, and Dhanush, who had consumed alcohol beyond legal limits, lost control of the car, leading to the fatal impact.
Following the accident, Dhanush attempted to flee but was apprehended by bystanders who reportedly confronted him physically. He was subsequently arrested by Kengeri traffic police and remanded to 14 days in judicial custody, facing charges of culpable homicide not amounting to murder. The driver's father, Veera Shiva, a private bus travel company owner, was identified as the car's owner.

"We apprehended the accused promptly, and he has been placed in judicial custody," confirmed the DCP of Traffic West, highlighting the swift police response.
Reports indicate that Dhanush's father had recently purchased the luxury vehicle, which Dhanush took out for a drive with a friend after drinking at a mall near Yeshwanthpur. The two had planned to head towards Mysuru Road for a long drive when the accident occurred.
In a separate incident, a 26-year-old delivery worker was killed in a hit-and-run on Saturday night while on his way to pick up his wife from KG Nagar. The collision took place around 10:20 p.m. on MV Seetharamaiah Road in Gavipura, when a speeding car crashed into his bike, causing his untimely death.
