"Four friends -- Sai Ram, Sainath, Kalyan, and Mallikarjun - were returning from a party in Gurram Guda. They were drunk. They were going towards Champapet area when Mallikarjun, who was driving the car, lost the balance and rammed the car into a tree," Srinivas Reddy, Circle Inspector, Saroornagar Police Station, told ANI over the phone.
