On June 29, Nandamuri Balakrishna escaped an accident that would have been fatal. He was driving to the Kempegowda International Airport in Bengaluru along with five others. He was in the driver's seat when, in his attempt to escape from a vehicle coming toward the car, he hit a road divider. Fortunately, none of those in the car were hurt.

Yesterday night, a car in which his son Mokshagna was seated met with an accident on a Banjara Hills road. Due to unclear visibility because of showers during the night, driver Venkanna lost control. The vehicle, mentioned as a Toyota Fortuner in RTA records, rammed into a nearby divider. The front portion got completely mauled.

The accident happened near the Basavataraka Cancer Hospital. Eye witness accounts are saying that Mokshagna was there in the car. According to some reports, he was in an inebriated condition at that time. This has triggered a speculation that it was Mokshagna who was driving when the accident happened.

The car, registered by RTA Hindupur in Nandamuri Balakrishna's name, is now with the Banjara Hills police. The police have entered Venkanna's name as the driver.
