Four students were killed and one sustained injuries after the car they were travelling in rammed into a tree near Mirzaguda Gate in Chevella in the early hours of Thursday (January 8, 2026).
The deceased have been identified as Kargayala Sumith, 20, Sri Nikhil, 20, Balmuri Rohith, 18 and Devala Surya Teja, 20. Sumith, Nikhil and Surya Teja were students of ICFAI Business School (IBS), while Rohith was an engineering student at Mahatma Gandhi Institute of Technology (MGIT). All four were pursuing undergraduate courses and three of them were residents of Narsingi.
A fifth occupant, Sunkari Nakshatra, a BBA final-year student at IBS, sustained injuries in the crash and was shifted to a private hospital in Gachibowli for treatment.
According to Mokila Inspector B. Veera Babu, the group was travelling from Mokila to Narsingi at the time of the accident. Preliminary probe suggests that overspeeding caused the accident. The speeding vehicle lost control before crashing into the median and the tree. The exact cause of the accident is being investigated.
The bodies of the deceased were shifted to the Chevella Government Hospital for postmortem examination. A case has been registered and further investigation is underway.
