The mysterious death of a hardcore fan of Telugu superstar Jr NTR aka Nandamuri Taraka Rama Rao Jr has taken a political turn on Tuesday, with former Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandra Banu Naidu hinting towards the involvement of Yuvajana Sramika Rythu Congress Party (YSRCP) members in the matter.

Shyam, a fan of Jr NTR passed away under suspicious circumstances in Chintaluru of Andhra’s East Godavari district. The youngster’s death has been dubbed as suicide, according to a report by Deccan Chronicle.

“Deeply saddened by the tragic and untimely demise of Shyam in Chintaluru, EG District. The suspicious circumstances surrounding his death are alarming. I strongly urge for a thorough investigation into this matter, ensuring justice is served. It has been alleged that YSRCP members are involved. Their involvement must be probed impartially. Let’s ensure transparency prevails and justice is served”, Naidu tweeted with the hashtag ‘WeWantJusticeForShyamNTR’.

Naidu is not the only one demanding justice for the deceased youth. The hashtag ‘We Want Justice For Shyam NTR’ has been trending on social media, with many people demanding a probe into the youth’s mysterious death and a possible murder angle to it.
