Iconic South Indian actor Vikram’s son, Dhruv, was arrested early Sunday morning after he rammed his car into three auto rickshaws in Chennai’s Teynampet area. The incident left the rickshaws badly mangled and injured one person. The aspiring actor was taken in by the police and booked under the IPC.
According to reports, the three rickshaws were stationary when the car crashed into them. The car sped away after hitting the rickshaws, and didn’t stop despite police efforts. It finally stopped after it sped out of control and hit a wall. The injured person was identified as Kamesh, who is now being treated in a hospital.
Dhruv was charged under sections 279 (rash driving or riding on a public way) and 337 (causing hurt by act endangering life or personal safety of others). There were two other people in the car with Dhruv. A video started doing the rounds on social media, which shows one of Dhruv’s friends, Rahul, arguing with the police and then trying to flee from them upon realising that he’s being filmed.

Dhruv has been released on bail. Vikram’s manager, Suryanarayanan, issued a statement saying that Dhruv was not drinking and driving. According to the statement, “While returning from a friend’s house on early Sunday morning, Dhruv’s car crashed into autorickshaws. One person was injured in the accident and he was immediately rushed to the hospital. He was treated for his injuries and later discharged. We would like to clarify that the accident happened only due to lack of attention behind the wheels and no other reason.”
The police are still investigating the case. Dhruv will be seen making his film debut with the Tamil remake of Arjun Reddy, Varma.
