The 20-year-old son of Kannada and Tulu Film Director, Suryoday Perampalli, met with an accident here and died on the intervening night of Friday and Saturday, said the police. According to police, the deceased has been identified as Mayur, who succumbed after his motor bike collided with a water tanker. The Byadarahalli police said Mayur was reportedly speeding and could have failed to properly gauge the water tanker ahead of him.

"As he was riding a 300 cc motor bike so due to over-speeding, he collided with this tanker from behind and due to the impact succumbed on his way to the hospital," the police added.
