Telugu actor Raghu Babu's car rams into a bike on highway; the bike rider dies

Renowned actor and comedian in the Telugu entertainment industry, Raghu Babu, was involved in an accident on Wednesday as his car collided with a bike, leading to the death of the bike driver. The accident occurred on the Narketpally-Addanki highway while Raghu was going to Hyderabad from Guntur.

Reports indicate that Raghu's car hit a motorcycle, resulting in the death of Sandineni Janardhan Rao, the 51-year-old rider of the bike and the Narketpally town secretary of Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS). The crash occurred when Janardhan Rao attempted a U-turn on the highway, and Raghu's car, reportedly traveling at high speed, struck the motorcycle from behind.

Tragically, Janardhan Rao succumbed to his injuries at the scene of the accident. The impact of the collision was severe, throwing the motorcycle approximately 50 meters away from the point of impact. Footage of the bike after the accident has since gone viral on social media platforms, with Raghu seated in the passenger seat of his car and explaining his side to the locals.

While Raghu Babu emerged from the accident unscathed, he was taken into custody by the authorities. A case has been registered against him under Section 304-A of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) for negligence causing death.

Authorities revealed that Raghu was on his way to Hyderabad when the accident occurred. The vehicle involved in the collision was identified as a BMW car, which struck the motorcycle from the rear. In response to the incident, the Nalgonda police department emphasized the suddenness of the collision, saying that the motorcyclist took an abrupt turn near the Leprosy Colony.
