Bengaluru: Kannada actress Divya Suresh has been booked in connection with a hit-and-run case in Bengaluru’s Byatarayanapura area earlier this month.
Police booked the Bigg Boss Kannada fame actress after verifying CCTV footage that showed her vehicle colliding with a motorcycle around 1.30 am on October 4 near Nithya Hotel, before fleeing the scene.
According to the complaint filed by 25-year-old Kiran G. on October 7, he was riding his motorcycle with his cousins, Anusha (33) and Anitha (24), when a speeding black car hit them from behind. The impact threw all three onto the road.
Anitha sustained a severe leg fracture and was admitted to a nearby hospital for treatment, while Kiran and Anusha suffered minor injuries. Kiran told police he delayed filing a complaint as he was occupied with Anitha’s medical care in the days following the crash.
The First Information Report (FIR) noted that the driver sped away without stopping to assist the victims.

Puttamma said. “She has been booked under Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) Section 281 for rash or negligent driving and Section 125A for acts endangering life or personal safety.
