CCTV footage showed while Madhuri fled the spot, but her friend got off the car and argued with the people who had gathered after the accident.

Surya was rushed to a hospital, but he succumbed to the injuries.

It was later when the police checked the CCTV footage, they found that the car belonged to the BMR (Beeda Masthan Rao) Group and was registered in Puducherry.

Madhuri was arrested but granted bail at the police station itself, reports NDTV.

Rao became a Rajya Sabha MP in 2022 and has also been an MLA.
