Hyderabad: Actor, girlfriend held for creating nuisance

Hyderabad: One-time film actor Nanduri Uday Kiran, who was an accused in several cases in Hyderabad and Kakinada including a POCSO Act offence, was arrested by the Madhapur police on Saturday. Kiran has been detained under the Preventive Detention Act by the Hyderabad city police.

On Friday night, Kiran and his girlfriend Anu Gupta were driving back drunk from a party in a car. Kiran who was behind the wheel rammed his vehicle into the car moving ahead of him. The impact injured the passengers in the other car. He and Anu created a ruckus on the road, following which the Madhapur police intervened and took the duo to the police station, where they again damaged some infrastructure.

Madhapur inspector Mr Y. Nageshwar Rao said, “Kiran and Anu were drunk. The car they were travelling in rammed into another car and injured the passengers in it. Based on their complaint, a case has been booked against Kiran and Anu under IPC Section 279 (rash driving) and Section 185 of MV Act (drunk driving), and for damaging government property. They have been placed under arrest.”

Kiran was first arrested in 2014 in a drugs case with cocaine in his possession. He was later arrested for several other offences too.

The inspector said that Kiran was booked in nine cases at Kakinada and 16 cases in Hyderabad besides being involved in a POCSO case involving a minor.
