A 32-YEAR-OLD Indian student has died in a road accident in Leicestershire, with four others hospitalised with serious injuries, according to police.

Chiranjeevi Panguluri, a passenger in the car, died at the scene when the vehicle left the road and came to rest in a ditch. The accident, involving a grey Mazda 3 Tamura, occurred on Tuesday morning as the car travelled from Leicester towards Market Harborough.


Three co-passengers, including one woman and two men, along with the driver, were taken to hospital. According to Leicestershire Police, the two male passengers remain in hospital with serious but non-life-threatening injuries.

A 27-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving but has since been released on bail.

“Officers remain keen to speak to anyone who may have been travelling along the A6 on Tuesday morning and witnessed the collision. They would also like people to check whether they have captured any footage on dash cam equipment,” the police said in a statement.

All those involved in the crash are reported to be from India's Andhra Pradesh state.

  • Campaigners say stronger enforcement is needed, warning that a proposed social media ban for under-16s cannot replace existing online safety protections.

Ofcom has raised concerns about the effectiveness of the UK’s online safety rules after finding that children’s exposure to harmful social media content remained largely unchanged during the first nine months of the new requirements.
