Drunk Engineering Students Allegedly Ram Car, Leave Medico Brain Dead
A young doctor who was studying to become a skin specialist got hurt very badly in a city called Rajamahendravaram in India.
She was riding a scooter with another doctor when a car hit them.
The people in the car were engineering students who had drunk alcohol.
Before the crash, they tried to go into a shopping mall, but guards stopped them because they were drunk.
This made the students very angry.
Police say that as the students were leaving, they made the car go faster on purpose and bumped into the scooter.
The doctor hurt her head so badly that doctors say her brain has stopped working.
She is still connected to a machine that helps her breathe.
Both students have been arrested by the police.
Police believe this was not an accident but an attack on purpose.
A 28-year-old postgraduate medical student, Priyanka, was declared brain dead after being run over by a car in Rajamahendravaram.
Police arrested two engineering students, Daswanth and Andrew Joseph, in connection with the alleged deliberate attack near Prasaditya Mall.
The accused reportedly consumed alcohol and were denied mall entry after a security check found them intoxicated.
Police said the duo deliberately accelerated the car near the exit gate and rammed it into the scooter carrying two medical students.
The victim, a dermatology postgraduate at GSL Medical College, suffered severe head injuries and remains on ventilator support.
