Bengaluru: In a hit-and-run case, the Byatarayanapura traffic police interrogated actor and former Bigg Boss contestant Divya Suresh on Wednesday after her car allegedly rammed into a two-wheeler, leaving a woman seriously injured on MM Road near Bapujinagar on October 4.
The actor reportedly fled the scene without stopping. CCTV footage later confirmed that Divya was driving the car when the accident occurred.
A senior police officer said that a complaint was filed by Kiran, who was riding a bike with his relatives, Anusha and Anitha. The three were heading to a hospital near Girinagar when a stray dog began chasing the bike. Kiran turned slightly to the right to avoid it, and at that moment, Divya’s car allegedly hit the two-wheeler, injuring Anitha, who was seated at the rear.
The actor did not stop. Anitha, a tailor from Mysuru, suffered a fractured kneecap and has been unable to walk. She was treated at a private hospital, and her medical expenses reportedly amounted to around Rs 2 lakh.
Police said Divya has not contacted the injured or her family since the incident. Further investigation is underway.
