Video Of Yash Fans' Moments Before They Got Electrocuted And Killed Goes Viral

Rocking Star Yash on Monday evening paid a visit to the houses of three fans who were electrocuted and killed on Sunday midnight.

The incident occurred in the district's Surangi village in Laxmeshwar taluk. They were trying to erect a cutout of Yash on the occasion of his birthday.

"As the metal skeleton came in contact with a live cable, three fans were instantly electrocuted," The Times of India quoted District SP BS Nemagouda as saying. A total of nine youths were holding the cutout, which had a metal frame in it.

Now, the video of the incident, capturing the moments before the death of the three youths has hit the internet. In the video, people are seen carrying the cutout and suddenly the screen turns black even as a few cry for help.

Upon hearing the news, Yash, who had appealed to fans not to come to his house this year due to his other commitments, visited their residence and expressed his heartfelt condolence over the unfortunate incident.

"One can compensate by giving money. But will we get life back? Will the aged parents get their boys back," the 'KGF' actor asked.

The deceased are 21-year-old Hanamant Majjurappa Harijan, 20-year-old Murali Neelappa Naduvinamani, 19-year-old Naveen Neelappa Gaji. Three others have been injured (Manjunath Harijan, Deepak Harijan and Prakash Myageri) and they are undergoing treatment.

"Never did we imagine that he would return within hours in this fashion - lifeless, covered in a shroud. He had a dream of building a house for us," she told the media.

Meanwhile, Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has announced an ex-gratia of Rs 2 lakh each for the next of kin of the deceased in the incident and Rs 50,000 to the injured youths.
