Kannada television actress and former Bigg Boss Kannada contestant
Divya Suresh has admitted to her involvement in a hit-and-run accident that occurred earlier this month near Byatarayanapura, Bengaluru.
According to police sources, Divya confessed during interrogation that she was indeed behind the wheel during the incident on October 4, which took place just 300–400 metres away from the Byatarayanapura Police Station. She reportedly told the police that she was in a hurry to catch a flight to Hyderabad and therefore did not stop to check on the victim after the collision.
Incident Details
The complaint filed at the Byatarayanapura Traffic Police Station states that the accident occurred when the victims were taking an unwell person to the hospital. The complainant alleged that Divya’s car suddenly hit their two-wheeler and drove away without stopping — not even to check on the injured.
Based on the vehicle’s registration number, police were able to trace Divya’s car and subsequently questioned her regarding the incident. During the inquiry, the actress reportedly admitted to being involved in the accident and mentioned that there were three people on the bike at the time of the mishap.
Divya Suresh’s Clarification
Following the police inquiry, Divya took to her Instagram account to address the issue. In a video statement, she acknowledged the incident and expressed regret over what had happened.
She stated, “Nobody is above the law. Whoever has done wrong will be punished.”
While Divya did not go into the specific details of the case in her video, her statement suggested that she was cooperating with the investigation.
Police Action
The Byatarayanapura Traffic Police have registered a case in connection with the accident and are conducting further investigation. Authorities are verifying CCTV footage from the area to confirm the sequence of events and assess the extent of damage and injuries caused.
Police officials said they are also examining whether sections related to rash and negligent driving, hit-and-run, and failure to provide assistance to an injured person apply in this case.
Amidst the ongoing police case, actress Divya Suresh was spotted visiting the Dharmasthala temple. Her temple visit has drawn attention, with many interpreting it as a spiritual move seeking peace and strength during a challenging phase. Known for her faith and calm demeanor, Divya’s visit reflects her belief in divine guidance even in the face of adversity.
