Two individuals lost their lives in a devastating accident that occurred early Wednesday morning at Durganagar crossroads in Mailardevpally, Hyderabad. A car, allegedly traveling at high speed, lost control and mounted a footpath before crashing into a tent where the victims were sleeping.

Prabhunath's other son, Sathunath, sustained injuries and is currently undergoing medical treatment. The family had established a roadside tent to sell bedsheets and pillows, using it as their lodging.
Police have taken the driver, Syed Hussain, and four other occupants of the vehicle into custody. Investigations revealed that the driver, a B Com student who also works as a bouncer, did not possess a valid driving license. Consequently, he has been charged with culpable homicide not amounting to murder due to the unlicensed and high-speed nature of the incident.
