Who Was Shyam? Jr NTR Fan Found Dead Under Mysterious Circumstances

Shyam, a devoted fan of Telugu superstar Jr NTR, was found dead at his residence in Andhra Pradesh’s Konaseema district on June 25. Shyam, hailing from the East Godavari district, was a college student. The 20-year-old’s sudden and mysterious death has shocked people online. Although initial reports allegedly suggested suicide as the cause of death, Shyam’s friends and family suspect foul play. The young man gained recognition after a video of him bypassing security cover to meet Jr NTR at an event went viral.

In the clip, Shyam can be seen attempting to bypass security to take a picture with the actor. When Jr NTR witnessed him being pushed aside, he intervened and allowed Shyam to join him on stage. The actor posed for a photo with the young man. The clip was from a pre-release event of Vishvak Sen’s Das Ka Dhamki, where the RRR fame actor was the guest of honour.
