"The GHMC worker was watering plants on the divider in front of the Park Hyatt Hotel. Usually, the GHMC takes up watering of plants on the road during the night hours because of less traffic," SHO Banjara Hills remarked.

The cab driver has been detained by Banjara Hills police, who have filed a case under Section 304 A of the Indian Penal Code (causing death by negligence). The SHO also acknowledged that an inquiry is underway to determine whether the driver was intoxicated or driving too fast.
