Initially, a case was registered under section 338 of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) for causing grievous hurt by a rash or negligent act. Based on the course of investigation, police later invoked Section 308 (attempt to commit culpable homicide not amounting to murder).<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"4\"\/><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"6\"\/>According to Prakash Nagar inspector Sheik Bajee Lal, the accused had gone to a mall to watch a movie while allegedly under the influence of alcohol. <!-- -->Theatre staff denied them entry after noticing their intoxicated condition. The duo reportedly argued with the staff and behaved aggressively before leaving the premises.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"11\"\/>Police said the accused then drove out of the mall\u2019s cellar parking in a rash manner. The two medical postgraduate students of GSL Medical College in Rajahmundry were riding out of the mall on a scooty at the same time, and the accused rammed the car into them.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"14\"\/>Investigators said the vehicle struck the two-wheeler multiple times, throwing the woman, identified as Dr Priyanka, on the road and leaving her with critical injuries. She was shifted to a nearby hospital and placed on ventilator support, where doctors later declared her brain dead.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"17\"\/>Her friend, who was riding the scooty, sustained minor injuries and is reported to be in stable condition.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"19\"\/>Police have also registered a separate case against the accused for allegedly misbehaving with theatre staff before the incident.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"22\"\/>Rajahmundry MP Daggubati Purandeswari expressed shock over the incident. In a statement issued from New Delhi where she is attending the ongoing Parliament session, the MP said she was deeply distressed by the incident and described the loss of a promising young doctor\u2019s future as a tragedy. She termed the alleged act \u201cinhuman\u201d and said such violence was a blot on the society. Purandeswari conveyed her condolences to the victim\u2019s family and assured them of full support.<!-- --> She also called for stringent legal action against the accused to ensure they are brought to justice.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/city\/vijayawada\/medical-student-dies-1-hurt-after-car-driven-by-drunk-youth-rams-her-scooty-in-rajahmundry\/articleshow\/133014225.cms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Two intoxicated young men crashed their vehicle into a scooty carrying medical students, resulting in one student being declared brain dead.
