In September 2025, a sanitation worker in Hyderabad died in an accident at Basheerbagh after being hit by a vehicle carrying a Ganesh procession.

The victim, who was identified as Renuka, had served the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) for 15 years as a sanitation staff member.

The incident took place when Renuka was crossing the road near Basheerbagh–Liberty during her shift. A Tusker vehicle struck her, which resulted in critical head injuries. Other GHMC workers who witnessed the event quickly took her to a nearby private hospital.
