Telangana Assembly Speaker Gaddam Prasad Kumar Extends Support Amidst Unfortunate Accident

Vikarabad : In a distressing turn of events today, a high-speed vehicle submerged in Shiva Reddy Pet Lake near Vikarabad district, resulting in the tragic drowning of one person, while the remaining four occupants were successfully rescued. The incident occurred along the Hyderabad-Vikarabad highway during a leisure trip by five individuals, including a woman. The submerged vehicle was later recovered with the aid of a crane.

Regrettably, Gunasekhar is reported missing. Despite extensive efforts involving numerous divers, his search persisted for 11 hours before his lifeless body was recovered around 4 p.m. this evening.

Upon being informed of the incident, Telangana Assembly Speaker Gaddam Prasad Kumar, who is also an MLA of the Vikarabad Assembly constituency, swiftly arrived at the Shiva Reddy Pet Lake. Gathering details from the police, he coordinated enhanced assistance for the affected individuals and expressed deep sorrow over the incident.

Sub-Inspector of Police Anush Reddy reported that at 5 a.m. this morning, a local resident alerted the police via the emergency number 100 about a car with five occupants plunging into the Shiva Reddy Pet Lake. Immediate police response revealed that four occupants had managed to escape the pond, but Gunasekhar was missing.

The ongoing investigation by Sub-Inspector Anush Reddy focuses on determining the circumstances of the incident. Intense fog and dew during the early morning hours significantly compromised road visibility. Further insights from the three survivors will be crucial in understanding whether the accident resulted from a loss of balance or a collision with an unidentified vehicle.

The details revealed that Sagar, Raghu, Gunasekhar, Mohan, and Poojita embarked on a journey in a car with registration number AP 37 AT 5000 from Hyderabad at around 3:30 a.m. Their destination was Anantagiri Hills for tourism when, at 5 a.m., their speeding car tragically veered into Shiva Reddy Pet Lake. This incident unfolded amidst dense fog and rapid dew formation, possibly influenced by a route diversion due to the passage of an unknown vehicle.

The driver of the car was unfamiliar with the pond adjacent to the straight road. Following the submersion, one passenger successfully rescued the other three with safety measures, but Gunasekhar’s whereabouts remained unknown. Subsequently, all four survivors were transported to a local hospital.

Beyond local residents, a considerable number of relatives gathered at the scene following the incident. After an 11-hour search, divers successfully retrieved Gunasekhar’s lifeless body from the pond. The police actively pursue the investigation, filing a comprehensive report and conducting thorough inquiries into the matter.
