According to a report in The Hindu, Jai partied with Premji Amaren and few other actors at a hotel in Nungambakkam. Jai lost control of his car, thereby colliding into a divider near Adyar.
However, the actor has been released on bail but the police have now decided to recommend to the transport department to cancel Jai’s license. A case was filed under sections 185 (driving by a drunken person or by a person under the influence of drugs) of the Motor Vehicles Act and 279 (rash driving or riding on a public way) of the Indian Penal Code, says reports.
This is the second time the actor has been caught for drinking and driving. In 2014, Jai was booked for drunk-driving after his car rammed the median near Kasi theatre.
On his professional front, Jai is getting ready for the release of his next movie Balloon in which he has paired up with rumoured girlfriend Anjali. He is also part of Venkat Prabhu’s forthcoming film Party.
