The accident took place at Nagarjuna Circle on July 1, 2016 when a speeding car driven by two youngsters, allegedly after drinking at a pub in Banjara Hills, hit the median, flipped to the other side of the road and fell on the hatchback being driven by Ramya's uncle, P Rajesh. While he and Ramya died on the spot, her grandfather Madhusudhana Chary succumbed to his injuries days later. The family was returning to their home in Borabanda after picking Ramya up from her school in Secunderabad. Three people — R Shravil, Kancha Vishnu Vineeth and Subhajit Bhattacharya — were named accused by Banjara Hills police in the case.

After a prolonged legal battle, the only charge still standing against Vineeth was that of violating the Motor Vehicle (MV) Act. Yet, a few months ago, the judge directed him to appear before the court, which wanted to initiate the process of 'framing charges'. But he did not attend the court proceeding. In April 2025, the court issued a NBW against him. In the same month, during one of the hearings, Banjara Hills police returned the NBW as his whereabouts were allegedly not known and requested the court to issue a notice to the sureties of Vineeth. As per details available on the Nampally courts website, the NBW was still pending when the case came up for hearing on June 25. The matter is coming up for hearing again on Tuesday, July 8. 'We request the deputy commissioner of police (west zone) to take action to challenge the session's court order which set aside the prime charge of Section 304 II, in the appropriate appellate court. Otherwise, it will amount to injustice. We have been waiting for justice for the last nine years and I don't know when there will be a closure. We request the police to actively pursue the matter,' Venkata Ramana told TOI on Sunday. The case under Section 304 II is still on against prime accused Shravil.

He Rose To Fame With 'Prema Desam'; His Sister Starred In A Rs 1,200-Crore Film With Prabhas
Mention the name Vineeth, and it might not strike a chord immediately, but say 'the hero from Prema Desam ', and the memories flood in. It's been 29 years since the film's release, yet audiences continue to watch it on television without hesitation. This 1996 film turned Vineeth into an overnight star, catapulting him to immense popularity and a busy career filled with back-to-back roles. He became a sought-after actor not just in Tamil cinema, but also in Telugu, where he delivered a string of hits. 3/8 Interestingly, Vineeth was introduced to Telugu audiences even before Prema Desam, with the film Sarigamalu in 1993, directed by Kranthi Madhav. The movie, which starred Rambha as the female lead, was a major success at the time. Following that, he featured in a series of notable films such as Aaro Pranam (1997), Rukmini (1997), and W/o V. Vara Prasad (1997). He wasn't just limited to lead roles; Vineeth also made his mark as a character artist. He played Rajasekhar's younger brother in Maa Annayya (2000), directed by Raviraja Pinisetty, and went on to appear in films like Lahiri Lahiri Lahirilo (2002), and Nee Premakai (2002). Most recently, he was seen in the romantic comedy Rang De (2021), which starred actor Nithin. What many may not know is that Vineeth is related to another major star of South Indian cinema, his cousin, Shobana. A true sensation of the 1990s, Shobana's presence on screen would instantly energise cinema halls. Posters featuring her were enough to draw crowds, regardless of who the male lead was. She acted opposite nearly every major South Indian star of the era and was widely sought after as a leading lady. Known for her stunning beauty and exceptional talent in both acting and classical dance, Shobana has appeared in over 230 films across six languages. Her versatility made her a standout performer, not only as an actress but also as a character artist, dancer, and choreographer. Shobana began her journey in Telugu cinema with Bhakta Dhruva Markandeya in 1982. She went on to deliver a string of hits, including Vikram (1986), Muvva Gopaludu (1987), Trimurtulu (1987), Rudraveena (1988), Nari Nari Naduma Murari (1990), Neti Siddhartha (1990), Appula Appa Rao (1991), and Rowdy Alludu (1991), among others. Her charm and screen presence quickly made her one of the most admired heroines in the industry.
