On Friday, September 25, 2026, a constable from the Hussaini Alam police station drove a pregnant resident of Hyderabad’s Old City to Asra Hospital after she failed to secure a cab because of the citywide Ganesh immersion festivities.
The immersion ceremony brought massive crowds to Shahali Banda X Roads, where authorities erected heavy barricades to manage processions. The resulting congestion left many commuters stranded, and the expectant mother, who needed a routine check‑up, found the usual ride‑hailing options unavailable.
Detective Inspector Dasru Nayak, accompanied by Constable Rajitha, spotted the woman struggling near the barricade. Without hesitation, they invited her into their patrol car and escorted her through the jammed streets. A short video that later circulated on social media shows Constable Rajitha gently assisting the woman as she boarded the vehicle.
Reaching Asra Hospital within minutes, the police duo ensured the woman received timely medical attention. Local observers praised the swift intervention, noting that such acts reinforce community trust in law‑enforcement during festival seasons when traffic snarls are common.
