I am tired trying to explain to my friends who are not from Karnataka, why even when somebody dies of natural cause people go crazy and resort to vandalism. News channels referred to the frenzy mob as grief stricken fans, these are not fans but hooligans! Dr. Rajkumar had God like status here but the way his so called fans have reacted is unforgivable. It was painful watching his wife and sons weep uncontrollably after their repeated pleas asking the crowd to clear so that the last rites could be performed, fell on deaf ears. I completely sympathize with them. The most loved Kannada actor of all time deserved a peaceful farewell. I am ashamed at what the city has had to see today.
