NANDIGAMA (KRISHNA DISTRICT): A

Hyderabad techie

died on the spot in a bike accident at

National Highway 65

near

Nandigama town

in Krishna district on wee hours of Saturday morning.

The deceased has been identified as

Pulavarthi Venkata Satya Nagendra

(24), a software employee working at

Tech Mahindra

in Hyderabad.

The incident happened at around 1.00 am in midnight, while Nagendra and his friend

Bathula Vamsi Krishna

(23) were travelling from Hyderabad to Vijayawada for a weekend trip. Police said that they were speeding at an average of 100 kmph speed and left their house late in the night by the time they reached the Nandigama, their engine got seized and immediately they skidded and fell down from the fast moving vehicle. As it was raining, luckily, Vamsi Krishna fell on the wed mud on the side of the road leaving him with minor injuries.

But, when Nagendra fell down and before he could try and get up an unidentified car ran over his head and fled from the scene. Even wearing his helmet could not save him as his head was completely crushed along with it. Locals and passerby immediately informed Nandigama police who reached the spot and examined the scene. Preliminary investigation revealed that the engine was heated up and there was no sufficient engine oil present in his

Pulsar 200 RS bike

to make the 280 km trip between Hyderabad and Vijayawada. Nandigama SI Tulasi Ramakrishna said that the bike was relatively new as it was registered last year and suspect that they could have revved the vehicle so much that could have burnt the engine oil quick.

Nagendra hails from Tadepallegudem while Vamsi Krishna was from Krishna Lanka area in Vijayawada. Both of them planned on to enjoy their weekend in the city. Nagendra’s body has been sent to Nandigama government hospital for post-mortem. A case has been registered under IPC sections 304A (causing death due to negligence) and 337 (Causing hurt by act endangering life). The case is under investigation to identify the vehicle that hit and run over Nagendra.
