According to reports, he was rushed to a nearby private hospital in Patancheru.

Lasya Nanditha, who was a first-time MLA, was elected from the Secunderabad Cantonment constituency in the 2023 Telangana Assembly election. She had escaped with minor injuries in a road accident on February 13 at Narketpally when she was on her way to Nalgonda to participate in BRS president and former Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao’s public meeting.
