Rajya Sabha MP's daughter granted bail after fatal hit-and-run in Chennai
Chennai: In a tragic incident similar to recent high-profile accidents, Madhuri, daughter of YSR Congress Party's Rajya Sabha MP Beeda Masthan Rao, allegedly drove her BMW over a man sleeping on a Chennai pavement, resulting in his death. The victim, identified as 24-year-old Surya, succumbed to his injuries despite efforts to rush him to a hospital.
According to officials, the incident occurred late Monday night in Besant Nagar. Madhuri, accompanied by a female friend, reportedly fled the scene immediately after the accident. Her friend briefly engaged with onlookers before leaving. CCTV footage confirmed the involvement of a car registered to the BMR Group in Puducherry, owned by Madhuri's family.
Outraged by the incident, locals and relatives of the deceased gathered at the J-5 Shastri Nagar Police Station demanding justice. Subsequently, Madhuri was arrested but was granted bail at the police station.
Beeda Masthan Rao, a prominent figure in the seafood industry and a recent entrant into politics, has served as both an MLA and now as a Rajya Sabha MP since 2022. This incident follows closely on the heels of another recent high-profile hit-and-run case involving a Porsche in Pune.

UP: 90 Bangladeshis, including 28 children, held in Mathura for illegal stay
Mathura (UP), May 16 (PTI): As many as 90 Bangladeshi nationals, including many children, were apprehended from Uttar Pradesh's Mathura district on Friday for alleged illegal stay in India, officials said.
They were taken into custody from local brickyards at Khajpur village under the Naujheel police station limits, a senior officer said.
"Regular searches were being conducted throughout the district. During one such operation, police were searching some local brickyards when they came across Bangladeshi nationals working there," SSP Shlok Kumar said.
Giving a break-up, the officer said in all, 35 men, 27 women and 28 children have been taken into custody.
"During interrogation, all of them admitted to being Bangladeshi nationals living illegally in India. They moved to Mathura three to four months back from a neighbouring state. Police are trying to establish their links," the SSP said, adding that their job contractor and other associates are also being questioned.
The officer told PTI that police also recovered some Aadhaar cards from the Bangladeshi nationals, apparently issued on forged documents in some other state.
Further legal proceedings are underway, Kumar said.
