In
what
can
be
called
a
hit-and-run
case,
a
70-year-old
platform
dweller
was
run
over
by
a
car
reportedly
registered
in
the
name
of
Kollywood
actor
Silambarasan.
The
shocking
accident
took
place
near
Chennai’s
Teynampet
on
March
18.
According
to
reports,
the
actor’s
father,
renowned
director-actor
T
Rajendar
was
in
the
vehicle
when
the
accident
took
place.
He
was
taking
his
grandson
to
a
clinic,
so
he
reportedly
got
down
10
meters
away
from
the
accident
spot
and
even
called
up
an
ambulance
to
rush
the
victim
to
the
nearby
hospital.
The
deceased
identified
as
Manuswamy,
recently
suffered
an
injury
after
he
lifted
a
manhole
cover,
following
which
he
was
in
a
crawling
state.
After
collecting
relevant
CCTV
footage
from
a
few
residences
and
shops
near
the
accident
spot,
the
police
arrested
Silambarasan’s
driver
Selvam,
who
during
police
interrogation
apparently
stated
that
he
didn’t
see
the
victim
as
he
was
crawling,
and
the
vehicles
from
the
opposite
direction
were
blocking
his
view
with
their
headlights.
The
traffic
investigation
wing
has
now
registered
a
case
against
the
driver
under
sections
337
(causing
hurt
by
act
endangering
life
or
personal
safety
of
others),
279
(rash
driving
in
public)
and
304(A)
(death
caused
due
to
negligence).
