A hotelier, Hari Prasad, 46, who sustained injuries when a Skoda car driven by Shwethab Kumar, HR manager of Deloitte, rammed into his motorcycle, died while undergoing treatment on Saturday night.

Prasad, along with his wife Soni Ramchandani and son Moksh, stopped their vehicle at Gachibowli junction signal on seeing a red light when Kumar rammed his car into them. While Soni, a software professional, died on the spot, Prasad and Moksh sustained injuries and were shifted to a private hospital for treatment.

The HR manager was in an inebriated state after going on a long drive on Outer Ring Road along with five internees. He was showing them how to race a car when the accident took place, the police said.

Although it has been around a fortnight since the incident, Shwethab continues to evade the police. Police have claimed that teams were sent to his native place in Patna and his in-laws’ place in Pune but could not find him.
