The hit-and-run incident took place near Tiger Varadhachary Road Besant Nagar in Chennai on Monday night.
Surya, a 21-year-old resident of Urur Kuppam, was run over by a BMW car on June 17 at night. Intoxicated, Surya was lying on the Besant Nagar Pavement close to Tiger Varadhachary Road when he was run over by a fast-moving vehicle.
Without delay, Surya was admitted to the hospital and unfortunately passed away from his wounds. Residents of Urur Kuppam gathered at J-5 Shastri Nagar Police Station demanding the arrest of the perpetrator.
The Adyar Traffic Investigation Wing Police have filed the case under Section 304 A of the IPC (causing death by negligence), which is a bailable offence, and summoned the automobile owner.
Following the examination of CCTV footage, the police determined that the car belonged to the BMR (Beeda Masthan Rao) Group and was registered in Puducherry.
Madhuri Beeda, the daughter of YSR Congress Party Rajya Sabha MP Beeda Masthan Rao, was arrested but later released on bail by the police.
