According to report, a 22-year-old fan of actor Vijay died after he was allegedly attacked by a fan of actor Rajinikanth following a wordy duel on Thursday.
The shocking incident took place in the district of Villupuram in Tamil Nadu.
A TOI report states that Yuvraj, a 22-year-old youth living in the area, was an avid Vijay fan while Dinesh Babu is also an avid Rajni fan, and he is also 22 years old. The two were friends and they both consumed alcohol yesterday, even though the wine shops were closed due to the curfew. There was reportedly a debate over who gave the most money to the relief funds, Rajinikanth or Vijay. The argument apparently got so heated that Dinesh Babu allegedly pushed Yuvraj so hard that he sustained a head injury and died on the spot.
Police has reportedly arrested Dinesh Babu, after they were informed about the incident and it has caused a stir in the area. Further investigation regarding the murder is on while deceased Yuvaraj's mortal remains were sent to a private hospital in Kalapet, Puducherry, for autopsy.
Rajinikanth and Vijay are two of the most celebrated actors in Tamil Nadu and the duo enjoy a loyal fan following, but the recent incident caused in a fit of rage, has indeed left everyone shocked.
On a related note, reportedly actor Vijay donated a sum of Rs 1.3 crore to coronavirus relief efforts to PM-CARES Fund and Chief Minister's Relief Funds of many states. Rajinikanth on the other hand has contributed Rs 50 lakh to coronavirus relief funds and will donate groceries to members of Nadigar Sangam.
