Sadly, Suraj’s car rammed into a speeding pick up truck and the actor died on the spot. The accident took place on the actor’s engagement day which was scheduled to take place in Odisha. The fateful pickup truck was coming from the Sarasiwa area near Pipedula.

The accident could have been avoided had the shoot got over on time. Time and again actors from the film and Tv fraternity have complained of long exhausting working hours. The fact that Suraj was working even on the day of his engagement is proof that actors have no breathing space and time for their personal commitments.
