India Jan 12, 2026

On what was supposed to be his wedding day, Ragesh, a native of Chempazhanthy Chellamangalam, died after his motorcycle crashed into a KSRTC Swift electric bus early Monday morning at Pangappara Manguzhy.
He was returning home from visiting a relative when the accident happened, and sadly, he died on the spot from head injuries.

Investigation underway; families had opposed the marriage

Police are reviewing CCTV footage to figure out exactly how the crash occurred and plan to register a case soon.
Ragesh and his fiancee were set for a temple wedding just hours later, having chosen this route because their families didn't support their relationship.
The couple had even rented a house together for this purpose.
