April 07, 2015 12:24 pm | Updated November 16, 2021 05:10 pm IST - HYDERABAD:

A manager at Deloitte, Shwetabh Kumar, who was on the run after killing a couple in a road accident at Gachibowli last month, was arrested by the police on Monday night.

The man had rammed his Skoda car into a motorcycle resulting in the death of a software professional Soni Ramchandani and her husband Hari Prasad.

Kumar, who was reportedly driving the Skoda car took five internees on a long drive on Outer Ring Road and consumed liquor. On way back he was showing the five persons how to race the car when he rammed it into the motorcycle which was stationary at the traffic signal at Gachibowli Junction on March 26, the police said.

While Soni died on the spot, her husband Prasad who sustained serious injuries and slipped into coma died on Saturday while undergoing treatment at a private hospital. Their son Moksh (4) suffered minor injuries in the accident and is recuperating.

Kumar was evading arrest since the day of the accident. He took along his wife and children and went into hiding. The police sent teams to Kumar’s native place Patna and his in-laws house at Pune but could not catch him.

Finally, the man surrendered before the police on Monday following police pressure on his relatives. “We have registered a case under Section 304 (culpable homicide not amounting to murder) against Kumar. He will be produced before the court today,” Gachibowli Inspector J. Ramesh said.
