The CEO of a private firm died in Hyderabad on Friday after he and his colleague met with an accident during the company's silver jubilee celebrations at the Ramoji Film City, police said.

The cage was hanging from a crane at a height of 25 feet via a 6 mm cable.

They were rushed to the hospital where Sanjay Shah succumbed to his injuries while undergoing treatment. Meanwhile, Raju Datla's condition is critical, police told India Today.
