Kiran Raj assault case: Actor likely to be in 14-day police custody

Based on an FIR filed by his girlfriend, model-actress

Yasmin Pathan

, actor Kiran Raj was arrested on Tuesday by the

RR Nagar Police Station

for allegedly physically assaulting her. Bangalore Times was the first to report that Yasmin had filed a complaint against the actor in Mumbai, and a subsequent FIR in Bengaluru, claiming that Kiran hit her several times on March 29 and even locked her up. Yasmin managed to escape and go to Mumbai, where she lives, and approached police there, because she claimed that Kiran and his friends did not allow her to go to a police station in Bengaluru.
