Kukatpally's Chaotic Commute: The Drunken Driver Who Wouldn't Stop

Honestly, some days, the headlines practically write themselves. And in Kukatpally, just recently, a rather dramatic episode unfolded, starring an auto driver whose evening took a distinctly wrong turn. Picture this: the usual evening rush, traffic weaving and winding, when suddenly, a particular auto-rickshaw begins to stand out. Not for its pristine condition, mind you, but for its utterly reckless abandon on the road.

This wasn't just 'a little fast'; this was, to put it mildly, a danger to everyone. The driver, identified as one Bheem Reddy, a resident from Gajularamaram, was behind the wheel of his auto (TS 08 UB 7268), swerving and speeding through the thoroughfares with a brazen disregard for pedestrians, for fellow motorists, for any semblance of road safety. It was a public safety nightmare, plain and simple.

Now, the traffic police, ever vigilant, were on duty near Lodha Apartments in KPHB. They spotted this errant vehicle, this mobile menace, and naturally, their instincts kicked in. Signals were given, attempts were made to bring the vehicle to a halt. But Bheem Reddy, it seems, had other plans. He refused to stop, almost as if the very idea of accountability was anathema to him, and instead, he accelerated, attempting a frantic escape.

What followed was a short but certainly tense pursuit. The officers weren't about to let this dangerous situation escalate further. They chased him down, finally managing to apprehend him near HMT Colony, close to JNTU. And what did they find when they finally got him to stop? A driver who was, in truth, heavily under the influence. One could practically smell the liquor from a distance. As if his reckless driving wasn't enough, he then proceeded to misbehave with the officers, adding insult to injury, creating quite a scene there on the road.

Naturally, the law had to take its course. The police registered a case against Bheem Reddy under the relevant sections, ensuring he faced the consequences of his actions. He was whisked away for a medical examination, which, as expected, confirmed what was already glaringly obvious: his blood alcohol content was dangerously, illegally high. The man was then, and quite rightly, produced before the court to answer for his perilous journey through the streets of Kukatpally. A stark reminder, perhaps, that some joyrides simply aren't worth the risk.
