Mettuguda curve proves fatal for two BPO staff

Staff Reporter

HYDERABAD: Three employees of Genpact, including a software engineer, were killed in separate road accidents in the city on Sunday.

Two call centre employees of the company — P. Gautham (20) and Mohammed Rizwan (23), riding pillion — died after the motorcycle they were riding hit a road-divider at Mettuguda. The accident occurred near the steep curve between Alugaddabavi and Mettuguda main road — one of the top 10 accident-prone areas in the city. Gautham could have lost control near the curve and rammed into the divider, the police said. Gautham and Rizwan fell down and died instantaneously. Gautham was riding the bike without wearing a helmet.

Chilkalguda Sub-Inspector P. Shiva Chandra said said the impact of the collision was such that it threw Gautham and Rizwan at least 5 feet into the air resulting in severe head injuries to them. Their motorcycle hit another motorist Niraj Achan and his friend Kiran who were going towards Tarnaka. The duo, however, escaped unhurt.

Earlier, software engineer S. Kiran (25) died after the motorcycle he was riding along with his colleague rammed into a van near Tarnaka flyover at 1.15 a.m.
