Popular Kannada actor Nagabhushana is now at the center of a massive controversy following a tragic accident. Reportedly, his car struck a couple, resulting in a fatal incident where a woman lost her life.

The unfortunate event occurred on a Saturday night around 9:45 pm on Vasantnagar main road in Bengaluru. 58-year-old Krishna and his wife, 48-year-old Prema, were walking along the road when Nagabhushana's car first hit an electric pole and then collided with the couple.

A woman named Prema tragically lost her life in the incident, according to Hindustan Times. Krishna sustained severe injuries and was promptly transferred to Portis Hospital in the Bannerghatta area. His condition remains critical.

Notably, Nagabhushana himself took the injured couple to the hospital. The victim's son, named Partha, filed a case at the police station.

Partha shared, "I work at a company, and my parents live with me. On September 30, around 10 pm, I received a call from a person residing in my apartment. He informed me that my parents had been in an accident, stating that a car had hit them both."

Continuing, he said, "I went to the hospital. The doctors informed me that my mother had sustained severe injuries to her face and head. She succumbed to her injuries on the way to the hospital."

Nagabhushana made his debut in Sandalwood in 2018 with the movie Sankastha Kara Ganapati. He has also featured in films like Kausalya Supraja Rama, Ikkat, among others.
