Union Minister of State for Home Affairs, Bandi Sanjay Kumar, stepped into action on Monday and rescued a woman trapped under a truck near Singapoor village, about 25 km from Karimnagar, Telangana. The incident occurred within his constituency on the Karimnagar-Warangal highway.
According to Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Huzurabad, Srinivasji, a truck traveling from Karimnagar to Huzurabad was involved in the accident. A woman, identified as Divyasree from Kalleda village in Manakondur Mandal, was riding pillion on a motorcycle when she fell close to the truck, leading her hair to get entangled in a rod beneath the vehicle. Responding to her screams, the truck driver stopped immediately. She also sustained no external injuries.

Bandi Sanjay, who was on his way to Mulugu, happened to be passing by the area in the opposite direction and immediately halted his convoy. He organised the rescue efforts, guiding locals and police officers to help free Divyasree. Following his instructions, bystanders managed to cut her hair to release her from the truck safely. The minister ensured she was quickly transported to Life Line Private Hospital in Karimnagar and reportedly pledged to cover her medical expenses.
Meanwhile, Sanjay recently got into a controversy by alleging that KTR was involved in drug use and accused the previous BRS-led government, under former Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao, of engaging in phone tapping. Last month, Sanjay was detained by police while protesting in support of Telangana Public Service Commission Group 1 aspirants who were calling for a postponement of the main examination.
