The 23 year old man, Kosuru Rajubabu, was a huge fan of K. Chiranjeevi, an actor-turned-politician who had formed his own party called Praja Rajyam Party (PRP). He stabbed his own father when he learned his father voted instead for the Telugu Desam Party.

The incident occurred in a village in Viskhapatnam in Andra Pradesh, India.

In India, some fans are really so obsessed with their favorite movie stars that such incidents may seem really shocking to other people around the world. I’m not sure if it is the first, and won’t be surprised if it is not the last.
