Hyderabad witnessed a tragic hit-and-run on NTR Marg, where 55-year-old Sub-Inspector K. Venkanna died while performing Ganesh immersion bandobast duties. According to official reports, Venkanna, attached to Kothagudem Two Town police station, was knocked down by an unidentified motorcyclist near Crane-2 along Hussain Sagar Lake. He later succumbed to his injuries.

Sub-Inspector Venkanna was managing crowd control and traffic movement near crane-2 when a speeding, unidentified motorcycle struck him and immediately fled the scene. The officer lost his balance and crashed onto the road. Initially believing he had suffered only minor surface injuries, Venkanna chose not to seek immediate local emergency care in Hyderabad and instead traveled back to his home in Warangal.
