Tragedy Strikes: Ex-Serviceman Killed in Hyderabad Hit-and-Run
A former Army Subedar tragically died in a hit-and-run in Hydershakote, Hyderabad, after an SUV on the wrong side of the road caused a fatal collision. Two others were injured. Police are investigating.
A tragic hit-and-run incident in Hyderabad has claimed the life of a 47-year-old former Army Subedar and left two others injured. The heartbreaking accident occurred early on Monday, August 10, 2026, when an SUV, allegedly driving on the wrong side of the road, collided with three two-wheelers in Hydershakote.
The victim, identified as Dammu Ravinder, had honorably served as a Subedar in the Army. He and his companions were returning home around 5:30 a.m. after attending Bonalu celebrations at a friend's house when the SUV veered into their path. Ravinder sustained fatal injuries and sadly died at the scene. The two other individuals on two-wheelers were injured and have since been hospitalized for treatment.
Preliminary investigations by the Narsingi police reveal that the SUV was occupied by four individuals. Following the horrific collision, the occupants reportedly abandoned their damaged vehicle and fled the scene, leaving the victims behind. The driver responsible for this devastating act has yet to be apprehended.
Authorities have identified the registration number of the SUV and are actively tracing those involved. Further checks into police records show a concerning history for the vehicle, including three previous traffic violations. These include a ₹1,000 challan for over-speeding or dangerous driving issued in March 2025 in Harshaguda, along with citations for parking violations in Nagarkurnool and Lal Darwaza, Hyderabad. The investigation is ongoing as police work to bring those responsible to justice.
