industry
personality

known
for
his

The
26-year-old,

was
riding
his
two-wheeler
near

According

a

around
11:30
p.m.,
resulting

The
impact
of
the
collision
was
so
severe
that
Charanraj
sustained
fatal
injuries
and
tragically
lost
his
life
at
the
scene.
Local
residents
immediately
alerted
the

arrived
at
the
scene
and

The
authorities
have
initiated
a
thorough
investigation
into
the

The
person
responsible
for

the
