Divya Suresh reacts
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."
