Personal life

[edit]

In 2012, he was arrested alongside his brother Raghu for purchasing drugs from a Ugandan national in Hyderabad.[1] In 2014, Hyderabad police questioned Raghu and a woman for leaving their cars parked on Kavuri Hills. An angered Bharath Raju abused the cops and was subsequently arrested.[2]

He died in a car crash while speeding and drunk in the emergency lane on ORR in Hyderabad after hitting a lorry around 9:45 a.m. on 23 June 2017.[3][4][5] Ravi Teja and his family except for Raghu notably skipped his brother's funeral since the family was shocked by his sudden death.[6][7]
