Another Yash Fan Dies In Road Accident Near Mulgund In Karnataka, Here's What We Know

Another fan of actor Yash, who got into a road crash while en route to see Yash in Suranagi village on Monday night, passed away from injuries on Tuesday. The deceased, 22-year-old Nikhilgouda Bheemanagouda Goudar from Binkadakatti village, met with an accident when his bike collided with a police vehicle at Mulgund. He was admitted to Gadag Institute of Medical Sciences (GIMS) in Gadag, where sources confirmed his death on Tuesday morning. The police reported that a speeding bike collided with an escorting vehicle as Yash was traveling to GIMS to visit the injured youths from Suranagi.

This comes amid another horrific incident which took place on Monday. When fans attempted to set up a cut-out of the actor in the Ambedkar Nagar area of Surangi village in Lakshmeshwar taluk in the middle of the night, the poster came into contact with a live electric wire. Consequently, the individual holding the poster was electrocuted, leading to the deaths of all three men involved.

“Three youths were electrocuted in Karnataka’s Gadag district on Sunday night after a huge flex of actor Yash, which they were installing to wish his birthday, came into contact with the electric wire,” Police told news agency ANI after the incident.

Afterward, the actor from Sandalwood talked to reporters in Hubballi. He mentioned that he is heading to Gadag to meet the families of the three deceased fans.

The Kannada star also met with the media after his meeting and confessed that such incidents have started making him scared of his birthday. “If you wish me wholeheartedly, from wherever you are, that is the best gesture for me. Tragic incidents like these make me fear my birthday. This is not how you show fandom,” he said.

“Please don’t show your love like this. I want to request you all. Don’t hang banners, don’t do bike chases, and take dangerous selfies; my intention is for all of my audience and fans to grow in life as I do. If you are a true fan of mine, then do your work diligently, dedicate your life to yourself, and be happy and successful. You are the ones who mean everything to your families, you should aim to make them proud,” he added.
