Vijayawada: A tragic road accident in Gannavaram in Krishna district claimed the life of a young engineering student after he reportedly attempted to evade a routine police vehicle check. The deceased was identified as Palagani Pranay, a final-year engineering student at KL University. He was a resident of Keesarapalli village in Gannavaram mandal. His younger brother, Kaushik, is a second-year Intermediate student.
According to family members, Kaushik regularly attended tuition classes at Chinna Avutapalli, where their father, Shivaji, usually dropped him off every day. However, on Saturday, as their father was unavailable, Pranay decided to take his younger brother to the tuition centre on a motorcycle.
While they were travelling on the route, traffic police were reportedly conducting routine vehicle checks. On noticing the police patrol, Pranay reportedly became nervous and attempted to turn back his bike to avoid the checking.
During the sudden manoeuvre, the motorcycle reportedly collided with an oncoming Bolero vehicle on the road. The impact left Pranay critically injured, while his younger brother, Kaushik, also sustained injuries.
Both were immediately rushed to Pinnamaneni Siddhartha Institute of Medical Sciences and Research Foundation for treatment. Despite efforts by doctors, Pranay succumbed to his injuries while undergoing treatment. Kaushik is currently receiving medical care.
Later, Pranay's body was shifted to the Gannavaram Government Hospital for post-mortem examination.
