  "account": "On Saturday evening, August 22, 2026, an engineering student at Yash's pre-release event for his film Toxic suffered a fractured leg when part of the sound and lighting equipment collapsed during the performance at Malla Reddy University in Hyderabad. Four other individuals, including two students and three laborers, were also injured, with minor cuts and bruises being the most severe. Bhanu Prakash, a third-year engineering student, sustained the leg fracture, while the other four attendees experienced less severe injuries.\n\nThe incident occurred while Yash was addressing a large crowd of fans who had gathered at the university for the event. Despite repeated requests from police to maintain a safe distance due to concerns over overcrowding, the crowd moved closer to the stage. Videos from the scene showed some attendees climbing onto structures around the event area.\n\nYash noticed the commotion and immediately stopped his speech, asking organizers and police to investigate the situation. He inquired about the injured students and resumed speaking once he was assured that the matter was under control. The injured individuals were promptly transported to a nearby private hospital for medical treatment.",
