'Duniya Vijay was arrested on the basis of a complaint of assault and intimidation filed at CK Achukattu police station.The complainant has stated that the actor had a heated argument and suddenly turned against him," said SD Sharanappa, deputy commissioner of police, Bengaluru City (South). According to CK Achukattu police, the actor, along with
Shivshankar Gowda
, came to meet the complainant Jayaram, a temple priest, at around 9.30 am on Tuesday.
They wanted to convince Jayaram to get his daughter reconciled with Shivshankar Gowda. Duniya Vijay reportedly accompanied Gowda since he was very close to him and his elder brother Sundar Gowda is the producer of his upcoming flick Maasti Gudi.
However, the reconciliation meeting took a turn for the worse when Jayaram, according to police, took a tough stance and refused to oblige to their demands. Duniya Vijay was arrested on Tuesday afternoon on the basis of Jayaram's complaint. He was booked under sections 314, 504, 506 and 323 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) for wrongful restraint, criminal intimidation, intentional insult and voluntarily causing hurt.
However, Vijay admitted that there was a 'small incident' which was amicably settled later.
'It is a family matter for us and we have arrived at a compromise. The recent days have been very traumatic for me and at this point I do not want talk much about the matter," he said.
