After a speeding luxury Audi Q3 automobile drove into a pole on the walkway and ran through the wall of a neighbouring building in the early hours of Tuesday in Bengaluru, Karnataka, seven people were murdered, including three ladies and the son of a DMK MLA from Hosur in Tamil Nadu.
Dr Bindu appears to be the daughter-in-law of DMK MLA Prakash, according to preliminary findings. It was later revealed, however, that his son was not married. The collision had such an impact that six of them perished on the spot, and one died on the way to the hospital. According to the Audugodi traffic police, the luxury automobiles’ airbags failed to deploy, resulting in the deaths of all passengers.
Eyewitnesses said they heard an explosion-like sound during the event. The people quickly gathered and dispatched an ambulance and police. Four of them were not breathing, and dragging the body out of the truck took over 20 minutes. The dead are all between the ages of 20 and 30. Three of them sat in the front seats, while the other four sat in the rear. According to early findings, none of them wore seat belts. The morgue at Saint John’s Hospital is where all the deceased bodies are stored.
