In a shocking incident, a car registered under Tamil actor Simbu’s name hit a 70-year-old homeless man recently. According to reports, the car was an Innova and T. Rajendar’s driver was driving the vehicle during the incident. Police arrested the driver of the car the day after the accident.
The deceased old man was identified as Muniswamy. The accident happened on March 18 at around 7 pm across the Elango Salai-Poes Road junction.
However, at the time of the accident, Simbu’s father Rajender was also in the car. He also called an ambulance to rush the elderly man to a nearby hospital immediately after the accident. But, the old man lost his life before the ambulance arrived.
The Pondy Bazaar traffic investigation wing police had previously registered a case under section 337 (causing hurt to a person by doing any act rashly and negligently) and 279 (rash driving in public). The case was then altered, adding a 304 (A) (death caused due to negligent driving). The driver has been arrested.
