Actor Sreenath Bhasi’s driving licence suspended in the hit-and-run case

Popular Malayalam actor Sreenath Bhasi’s driving licence has been suspended in connection with the hit-and-run case where a biker was injured. The incident took place on September 8, in Mattancherry, when the car driven by Sreenath Bhasi hit a biker. The Ernakulam regional transport officials have suspended the actor’s driving licence for one month.

The biker from Chullikkal, Mattancherry, sustained a fracture to his right foot, and a case was registered against the actor under section 128 (b) of the BNS for voluntarily causing grievous injury and section 134 of the Motor Vehicles Act. The police arrested Sreenath Bhasi following a complaint lodged by an eyewitness. His arrest was recorded and he was later released on bail. The actor reportedly didn't stop the car to provide medical attention to the victim. The police identified the car a few days after the incident through CCTV camera footage.


Meanwhile, on the work front, Sreenath Bhasi’s recent outing was the blockbuster ‘Manjummel Boys’. The film emerged as one of the biggest blockbusters of the year and also won national attention. ETimes rated the film 4 out of 5 and the review reads, “Manjummel Boys isn't your average friendship flick packed like a survival film. If you are looking for a crisp survival film, this is it. It's an absolute marvel of visuals, absolutely good writing, characterization, editing, acting, and all the thrills. From successfully establishing the setting, which is almost decades ago, to the authenticity with which the characters and their reactions to the situations are portrayed and the way the story flows seamlessly, writer and director Chidambaram has done a phenomenal job. There is a repeat watch value to this film, and it is a great addition to the survival film genre in the Malayalam industry.”
