AMARAVATI: Fan fights and petty scuffles are laced into the mundane routines of everyday life in southern India. However, Andhra Pradesh has a horrific tale to add to the list. A man named Harikumar was beaten to death by another just for putting a picture of actor Prabhas as a WhatsApp profile photo. Kishore from Eluru was arrested by the police.

Harikumar was Eluru Prabhas fans association secretary. Kishore meanwhile is an ardent Pawan Kalyan fan. Kishore requested Hari to put Pawan Kalyan's image as WhatsApp status. The talks were just banter between the two but then the absolute fall happened. Hari Kumar on the same day put Prabhas image as a status which got the ire of Kishore. The two later met and turned to exchange blows over the status issue. Kishore smacked Harikumar with sticks and cement bricks. Hari was seriously injured in the beatings and later succumbed to the injuries.
