Rallagudem Ramakrishna Reddy, a BJP leader and social activist from Badangpet in Telangana's Rangareddy district, was found dead at his residence on April 15, 2026, under mysterious circumstances. His death occurred shortly after he played a key role in exposing ₹150 crore corruption scandal involving irregularities in engineering and sanitation projects within the Badangpet circle, which had already led to the suspension of ten officials by the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC).

Police have officially registered a case of "suspicious death" under Section 194 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) to investigate foul play. As authorities examine missing project records that suggest possible attempts to conceal evidence of the financial misconduct he uncovered.
