Telugu star Ravi Teja's brother Bharath dies in a road accident, Rana Daggubati offers his condolences

Popular Telugu star Ravi Teja's brother Bharath Raju died in a road accident. The mishap took place on Saturday night as per the police. 

Bharath, 46 was a character artist who has starred in a few Telugu films like Dhee, Ready and others. An IANS report quoted a police source as saying, "Last night, around 11 p.m., the accident occurred on Outer Ring road near Shamshabad. Bharath was driving a Red Skoda, which rammed into the back of a parked truck. Due to the high speed collision, he died on the spot."

Speculations about it being a case of drunken driving are rife. The police also hasn't ruled out the possibility of that being the cause of the accident completely. 

Reportedly, a case has been registered against the driver of the truck as well, since he didn't take the necessary precautions while parking the vehicle after it broke down. Bharath's body has been taken to Osmania General Hospital mortuary.

Several south stars have offered their condolences on learning about the mishap. Rana Daggubati tweeted, "Extremely sad news!! RIP Bharath!! @RaviTeja_offl Ravi garu!! Strength and power to ur family!!"
