Arya, who was the President of Tumakuru district Sudeep fan club died in a road accident. Puneeth was riding his bike on Sunday when this mishap took place, it is said. 

Sudeep was immensely shocked and upset when he came to know of this news. He took to Twitter to condole his dearest fans’ death.
