Divya Suresh
Weeks after a hit-and-run incident left three people injured in Byatarayanapura, police on Friday said the vehicle involved was allegedly driven by Kannada actress Divya Suresh. The accident occurred in the early hours of October 4, and the vehicle belonged to the actress, officials said. A case has been filed, and Bengaluru police have seized the vehicle.
According to police, Kiran G, along with his cousins Anusha and Anitha, was riding a motorcycle when it was allegedly struck by a speeding black car driven by an unidentified woman. The car fled the scene immediately after the collision. On October 24, Divya shared a screenshot of the CCTV footage of the accident, which was posted on YouTube. Along with it, she also shared a comment defending herself.
The comment read, "The mistake was the biker's. There were three people riding on the bike, and none of them were wearing helmets. The car driver was taking a left turn when the biker came on his own and collided with the car. Now, blaming the person in the car is utter foolishness. Please check the video or get your eyes checked. Just because someone is an actor doesn't mean you can falsely accuse them without reason."
Reacting to it, the Bigg Boss Kannada actress wrote, "Thanks to the noble souls who commented. Truth alone triumphs."
In the mishap, Kiran (25) and Anusha (24) sustained minor injuries and did not require hospitalisation. However, Anitha (33) suffered a broken leg and was admitted to BGS Hospital, where surgery was prescribed, the complaint alleged.
Based on the complaint filed by Kiran, a case was registered on October 7 under Sections 281 (rash driving or riding on a public way) and 125(a) (act endangering life or personal safety of others) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, along with other relevant sections of the Motor Vehicles Act, police said.
During the investigation, CCTV footage from the area revealed that the car involved belonged to Suresh and that she was allegedly driving it, a senior police officer said. Further investigation in the matter is underway, he added. The victim's cousin reportedly said that they shouted for the car to stop, but it didn't. The family also claimed that Divya Suresh has neither reached out nor offered any assistance since the incident.
