Times of India··21 Aug
On 21 August 2026, Lingamaneni Sanjush, 21, son of Andhra Pradesh Rajya Sabha member Lingamaneni Ramesh, gave his first public account of the 16 August Madhapur crash. He said he did not flee after his Aston Martin hit 26-year-old Lifestyle staffer Bharati Mukhi near Inorbit Mall, and that he took her to Apollo Hospital in the same car.

What It Means For You
- If you cross the Inorbit Mall road in Madhapur, that is the stretch named in the FIR for the 16 August, 3 pm collision.
- Anyone asking why the driver is not in custody can note police cited the bailable five-year maximum under Section 106.
- If you are following the medical tests, Sanjush said alcohol and drug screens were negative. Police also said notices were served rather than an arrest.
What's Happening
- This is Sanjush's first statement. Police had already named him as the driver in the FIR.
- He expressed grief to Bharati's family and asked that his taking her to hospital be considered in the probe.
- Ramesh, a Jana Sena Rajya Sabha MP, had not issued a public comment in the first reports.
What Section 106 Does And Does Not Decide
- Section 106 covers causing death by a rash or negligent act that is not culpable homicide. It is not a murder charge.
- Bharati Mukhi worked as a sales associate at the Lifestyle store inside Inorbit Mall. She died of a severe head injury.
- Sanjush is 21 and listed as a Hitec City resident. The vehicle is an Aston Martin, which earlier explainers priced in the multi-crore range, but the case turns on driving, not the badge.
