A tragic accident claimed the life of 28-year-old Ragesh, who was set to marry his fiancée just hours later. The crash involved his motorcycle and a KSRTC electric bus in Sreekaryam, early Monday morning.

The deceased, a native of Chempazhanthy Chellamangalam, was planning a temple wedding with the woman from Kattaikonam. The accident took place as Ragesh was returning from a relative's place, leading to fatal head injuries at Pangappara Manguzhy, officials reported.

Sreekaryam police have opened an investigation into the collision, scrutinizing CCTV footage. A preliminary probe is underway, awaiting case registration. Speculative reports suggest family disapproval of the union, but the couple was determined to wed, having rented a home in Chanthavila.
