Telangana: Death of BJP Leader After Car Falls into Canal, Police Recovered Body

A BJP leader, T. Ramna, was found dead after his car fell into a canal in Telangana's Jagtiyal district.

In a tragic incident in Telangana's Jagtiyal district, a BJP leader named T. Ramna was found dead after his car fell into a canal in the Suddapalli area. Local villagers raised the alarm when they noticed a submerged car in the canal, prompting police to respond quickly. Authorities used cranes and expert divers to recover the vehicle, which had been missing for three days, underlining the community's concern and vigilance in the search for missing persons.
