A 19-year-old fan of actor Ajith died after falling from a moving tanker lorry in Koyambedu on Wednesday, according to The Hindu.
The youth, identified as Bharath Kumar of Chintadripet, was dancing on top of the slowly moving vehicle to celebrate the opening day of the film Thunivu.
Police stated that Kumar fell from the lorry and broke his spinal cord. He was rushed to Government Kilpauk Hospital but died in the early hours of Thursday, January 11, without responding to treatment.
Large numbers of fans of actors Vijay and Ajith had gathered at the Rohini Theatre Complex in Koyambedu since midnight on Wednesday for the release of the films Varisu and Thunivu.
Tension reportedly prevailed at the complex due to a delay in the movie screenings, requiring police intervention to bring the situation under control.
The Traffic Police, Koyambedu, have registered a case and are investigating the incident.
