‘We all saw on social media the actor, a drug addict hurling abuses at the police officers including the SHO on duty at the Ernakulam North Station.
Despite coming to the station and behaving so badly, obstructing the duty of the officers, he was released on bail after imposing weak charges. Is it 'the privilege of being a comrade' or was it following the directions from the Cliff House.
Whatever it is, it goes without saying that a section of police officers who work with dignity is also being demoralized...' Uma Thomas responded.
The actor responded to the media about the incident. He had replied that he had come to file a complaint while returning from the general hospital for a medical check-up.
At around 4.30 pm yesterday, Vinayakan called the North Police Station from his own flat in Kalur and complained about the fight with his wife and sought help. The police reached the flat and sought information. The police went back after understanding that financial transactions between Vinayakan and his wife related to the purchase of the flat were the cause of the dispute.
Vinayakan, who reached the North Station around 7.30 pm, raised a commotion by asking the police whether they would only listen to women's complaints. When the police team led by the circle inspector took Vinayakan to the Ernakulam General Hospital for medical examination, he created a commotion in the casualty also. The reason was the gathering of the people to see the actor.
The actor also shouted at the police officers. The hospital sources stated that after the patients and their companions were shifted from the vicinity, he gradually calmed down and cooperated with the examination.
