Mohammed Raheel Aamir, the son of former Telangana MLA Mohammed Shakeel, surrendered to the Jubilee Hills police in Hyderabad after being based in Dubai since 2023. His surrender relates to a 2022 hit-and-run incident that resulted in the tragic death of a two-and-a-half-month-old infant, whose mother, Kajal, was injured in the accident. The incident occurred on March 17, 2022, when an SUV allegedly driven by Raheel struck Kajal on Road No. 45 in Jubilee Hills. Following the accident, Raheel fled the scene, and initial investigations led to his friends, Syed Afnan Ahmed and Mohanned Maaz Moheet Khan, being questioned. However, new evidence, including CCTV footage and WhatsApp conversations, later confirmed Raheel's role as the driver. In 2024, the police formally charged him with culpable homicide, citing that he was allegedly using a mobile phone at the time of the crash. Following a high court order, Raheel surrendered and was released on a personal bond while being instructed to cooperate with the ongoing investigation.
