Yash rushes to Hubballi to meet the family of three fans who died of electrocution while putting up a flex banner to celebrate the star's birthday.

The KGF actor rushed to Hubballi, Karnataka, to meet the family of three men who were electrocuted while attempting to install a banner in honour of the actor's 38th birthday. The fans intended to put the cutout in the village's Ambedkar Nagar in the middle of the night. While the trio was installing the cutout, it collided with an electric line, electrocuting and killing all three.

In response to the event, Superintendent of Police Babasasheb Nemogouda stated, "While putting up the banner, three of them were electrocuted and three were injured. The banner had a metal frame that was in touch with a HESCOM wire. A case has been registered at Lakshmeshwar Police Station. We will investigate this."
