Simbhu Car Found, Driver Arrested!

Simbhu, who got into the issue once again, this time with hit-and-run case, said yesterday that he was in Sri Lanka shooting for his film "Silabattam."

The rumoured story was, both Simbhu and his brother Kuralarasan gone for a party and drunk heavily. They were in the car when the accident occured in which one person was killed.

Simbhu and his father denied this allegation and in the press meet said that Simbhu was in Sri Lanka attending shooting. He said, the car was yet to be found along with driver.

The police who arrested the driver when he came to his house, produced him in the court and remanded him to custody.

The driver said that he joined Vijaya T. Rajendar's family as driver around 8 months ago. Kuralarasan went to a party and asked the him to wait. He missed his friend's wedding engagement recently and wanted to catch up. So, he took this opportunity and instead of waiting, he took the car, and on the way to Chengalpattu, consumed alcohol. When he reached his friend in the night, the friend wasn not available at home. He waited and slept. When he woke up, it was morning. Fearing punishment, he didn't go home. Instead, he along with his friend, went to meet the bride. While returning, both consumed alcohol and hit a two-wheeler in which three people were travelling. One of them seriously injured. Fearing police case, the driver fled the scene and stayed away for a week.

When he returned home, police arrested him. This was the story told by the driver. Truth will be decided in the court!

I was not in Car, but in Sri Lanka - Simbhu

Simbhu, one of the upcoming young heroes, said that he was not in the car during the accident. He was in Sri Lanka shotting for his film.

His car went missing and later reported to be involved in an accident killing a person near Uthiramerur. In a press meet, he along with his dad addressed the gathering and he said:

"I was not in Chennai when the car went missing. I was in Sri Lanka shooting for my film Silambattam. When I was in shooting, my mother called and said, Kuralarasan's (his brother) car went missing. I asked my driver to look into that. Next day, I got an update saying the car was yet to be traced. For the next two days, they said there were not able to find the car.

"In the meantime, few journalists reported that my brohter and I drunk heavily and were standing there. I am not sure why people are always dragging me in these kinds of issues. They related me with an actresses. I am an open person and share everything with press.

"I didn't know who is behind this, but I am sure there is a person behind all of this. This person is dragging me into these kinds of issues."

His father, veteran actor-director Vijaya T Rajender said, "I have proof that Simbhu was not here. He was in Sri Lanka for his film shooting. If this kind of harrasment continued, I will take it to the human rights commission and also take legal action."
