Prior to the crash, the six persons travelling in the car grabbed a person’s mobile phone as he reportedly saw one of them throwing out a beer bottle.

Naidu said that they thought the bystander could inform the police so they grabbed his mobile phone but just a few moments later, the accident occurred.

He said the accused persons have been identified and noted that the accident happened due to rash driving in a drunken condition.

“Absconding persons will be taken into custody while a case has been registered under IPC Section 304 (punishment for culpable homicide not amounting to murder)”, said Naidu.
