HYDERABAD: If not for the alert Blue Colts patrol team of Jubilee Hills police station it would have taken police considerable amount of time to track down and prove that the two accused in the Porsche fatal hit-and-run case were drunk.
After ramming into the two hospital workers in Banjara Hills, Rohit Goud and Sai Suman had fled towards Road Number 5 in Jubilee Hills. They parked the car in the cellar of an apartment and were about to leave in another car when they were intercepted.
Constable Satish and home guard Jitender were the two Blue Colts personnel who spotted, tailed and intercepted the accused. Constable Satish told TOI that they had finished checks near Jubilee Hills check post when their team noticed the Porsche travelling in the wrong direction.
“The damaged front portion of the car was rubbing against the tyre causing a noise. Suspecting that the vehicle could have been involved in a road accident, we followed it,” Satish said. The team noticed the car going into the cellar of the apartment, took photos and left. Subsequently, they heard the wireless alert on the hit-and-run case.
“We corroborated particulars of the suspect vehicle with the car spotted on Road Number 5. We immediately went to the apartment and saw the two persons with another man who had come in a white car. We later handed over the two to Banjara Hills police,” SI B Harishwar Reddy said. Cops said it would have been difficult to prove the drunk driving angle if the accused had left the place.
“The fantastic policing by Blue Colts team played a key role in immediate arrest of the accused,” Banjara Hills ACP M Sudarshan said.
