Oh dear..
Looks like they stopped recievimg signals from the lander as it got to 100meters above the lunar surface.
They are trying to analyse the data now.
Not looking good

Getting within 100m is a strange place to lose contact. If the thing crashed then is it reasonable to expect data to 0m? Just going to have to wait to see what they find, maybe someone one did not want those experiments to take place? Sabotage, subversion, secret space programs?

What could happen 100 meters ABOVE the surface? Hopefully the orbiter had its camera(s) zoomed in on the lander when communications was lost.

There's no atmosphere to create the friction to burn it up or to make parachutes any use!

The more time that passes, the more unbelievable the moon landings become.
I"We've found the location of #VikramLander on lunar surface & Orbiter has clicked a thermal image of Lander. But there is no communication yet. We are trying to have contact. It will be communicated soon" : K Sivan, ISRO Chief
