In a tragic road accident near Pemmanahalli in Nelamangala taluk,a 30-year-old dance instructor was killed in a freak accident after a canter lorry rammed into a stationary car early on Tuesday.
The deceased has been identified as Sudheendra,a resident of Thyamagondu village and a well-known dance performer and instructor.
According to police sources,Sudheendra had taken delivery of his new Maruti Suzuki Eeco car only on Monday.

As he stepped out to inspect the issue,a speeding canter lorry coming from behind crashed into the stationary car, resulting in Sudheendra’s instant death.
Sudheendra had gained recognition through popular Kannada television reality shows, including Sai Dance Show,and had built a successful career as a dancer, teacher,and event organiser.
He ran the Sai Dance Academy in Dabaspet,where he trained hundreds of aspiring dancers.In addition to dance instruction,he was also involved in flower decoration and organising cultural programmes.
Local residents rushed to the spot immediately after the accident but found that Sudheendra had already succumbed to his injuries.
