Actor Rahul Ramakrishna lost his brother in a tragic incident, leaving him deeply shaken.

The actor shared that his brother passed away due to Paraquat poisoning, a highly toxic weed killer, and spoke about the dangers of its easy availability.

On Saturday, Rahul took to his X account to express his grief and raise awareness about the issue. While sharing the heartbreaking news, he described the chemical as "terrifyingly lethal" and highlighted how it is "widely misused" and easily accessible, which has worsened the situation.

"Honourable Sirs @TelanganaCMO @PMOIndia, Lost my brother today to Paraquat poisoning. It's terrifyingly lethal and widely misused for self-destruction. Shocked by how easily it is available everywhere. Doctors are overwhelmed by the number of cases. Please ban it ASAP--save lives," he wrote on X.
