At least seven persons have died in separate incidents since Sunday night
As many as seven persons died in separate rain-related incidents in different parts of the State since Sunday night. Most of the victims were swept in flash floods due to heavy rains in Vikarabad, Yadadri-Bhuvanagiri and Hanumakonda districts. Tragedy struck two families in Vikarabad as a newly-wed woman and her husband’s sister got washed away in a canal in Marpally mandal on Sunday night. They were travelling in a car. While the bride Pravalika and the sister-in-law Swetha Reddy’s bodies were recovered, an eight-year-old boy who was also in the car was yet to be found. The family members alleged that the car driver, Raghavender Reddy, was inebriated. Pravalika and Nawaz Reddy got married on August 24. After completing post-marriage celebrations at Pravalika’s home in Mominpet, the couple were returning to Nawaz’s home in Ravepally. Apart from the newly-wed couple, the groom’s sisters Radha, Swetha and her son Thrishanth were in the car.More Related News
