Hero of the film ‘Raja Rani’, Jai Sampath was arrested for allegedly driving a car under the influence of alcohol and hitting a divider in Adyar(Chennai) yesterday.Actor Jai Sampath, also known as Jai, was later released on bail.
The police said that Jai, along with a few other film artistes, partied at a star hotel till late night. Later, he left for his house along with his friends. When the car was on the Adyar flyover, he lost control and rammed the divider. The traffic police, using a breath analyser, found that he had been drinking. Mr. Jai was booked under the Motor Vehicles Act. The actor was also booked in 2014 on a similar case and so, the police have recommended the cancellation of his licence.
Celebrities like films stars have more responsibility when it comes to abide by the law as they have strong influence on the youngsters as well as society in general. Hope they at least learn the lessons and behave as responsible citizens, if not like role models, as they are expected to be so.
