Jailer Actor Vinayakan Booked for Unruly Behaviour at Hyderabad Airport: The Full Story
Malayalam actor Vinayakan, in the recently released hit movie Jailer, hit the headlines for all the wrong reasons. On September 7, 2024, the RGI Airport police in Hyderabad registered a case against the actor based on a complaint filed by the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF). Accusations of unruly behaviour by Vinayakan against the staff present at the gate in the airport surfaced; he was said to be under the influence of alcohol. He was booked under public misconduct and causing public nuisance. However, Vinayakan has another version of the story. According to him, he was being assaulted by the CISF personnel.
What Happened at the Airport? Incident:
Trouble started when, on the evening of September 7, Vinayakan reportedly had a heated exchange of words with the airline gate staff. The actor was on his way from Kochi to Goa via Hyderabad. Reports said he was ill-behaved with the personnel at the airport. The argument quickly turned ugly, and Vinayakan’s aggressive behaviour drew the attention of the airport security staff.
Vinayakan was subsequently handed over to the CISF for further action in view of his conduct. The security officials accused him of creating a disturbance, following which a case was registered against him. Later, he was booked under different bailable offences including public misconduct and causing public nuisance. The actor was subsequently let off on bail but remains under scrutiny for his actions at the airport.
Charges and Legal Proceedings
Following the incident, immediate action has been taken by the RGI Airport police. The charges against Vinayakan are mainly related to creating a nuisance by the actor. Public misconduct and causing public nuisance is an offence, serious one, especially at high-security places like airports.
Since he is an actor with quite a number of fans, the incident received much media attention; however, he was released as the charges were bailable. This case will be decided in court to determine how much at fault the actor really is, whether his punishment will end with that, or whether the case will be taken to trial.
Response of Vinayakan: He Claims Assault
Vinayakan has, however, presented a different version of events in his defence. In an interview to Manorama News, the actor of Jailer claimed that he was assaulted by the CISF officials. He said that after the altercation with the airline staff, the CISF personnel took him to a private room and physically assaulted him.
Vinayakan denied all charges of unruly behaviour and termed himself innocent. He said the officials could check the CCTV cameras installed at the airport to corroborate his version of the story. According to him, the footage would show concrete evidence of what really happened during the incident and may also acquit him of the charges.
Public and Media Reactions
The incident has sparked a significant public debate, with reactions being split between support for Vinayakan and criticism of his alleged behavior. Fans of the actor have taken to social media to express their disbelief and disappointment in the wake of the controversy, while others have criticized him for engaging in inappropriate conduct at a very public place like an airport.
The media reports on the incident have also been relentless. The growing popularity of Vinayakan after the success of Jailer accorded more importance to the case. However, the allegations of assault by the CISF levelled by the actor themselves bring into question the behavior of the airport security personnel. Whether Vinayakan’s allegations have any merit could be ascertained after the CCTV footage is seen and more evidence is brought out.
Vinayakan’s Future Projects: Career at a Crossroad
Amongst this controversy, the career of Vinayakan seems to be marching ahead. The actor would be appearing in the forthcoming Malayalam film Thekku Vadakku along with the famous actor Suraj Venjaramoodu. The movie is in the headlines, and its audio release may happen this week.
However, the legal issues that arose from the Hyderabad airport incident may tarnish his professional efforts. Though Vinayakan received critical appreciation for his role in Jailer, at this juncture, the actor’s reputation has fallen prey to these incidents that happened recently. Only time will tell if the controversy would mar the success graph of Thekku Vadakku or even Vinayakan’s other projects that are going to be released in the near future.
Legally Speaking: What’s in Store for Vinayakan?
The legal proceedings may bring potential troubles for Vinayakan, opening the chances of long-lasting effects. If the charges against him are proved to be valid, there would be a stain on his image as an actor and his stand in the industry too. On the other hand, if this CCTV footage or any other evidence corroborates with his version of the assault by the CISF, the story may change dramatically in favor of the actor.
In high-profile cases, the court of public opinion comes into great play. While he is considered to be innocent or guilty by the courts, long-term public perception may make or break the career of Vinayakan.
Conclusion: A Controversial Episode in Vinayakan’s Life
The case, filed against public misbehaviour and creating a public nuisance at Hyderabad airport, got a media upraise, as well as among his fans. Though he was accused of those charges, a claim from the actor’s side against CISF for assaulting him made the situation more complicated. The truth behind the incident will be brought out gradually as the legal procedures in this regard are underway.
For the present, Vinayakan is in the news spotlight-not for his acting prowess, but for an unfortunate fracas at an airport. His forthcoming film Thekku Vadakku may offer some semblance of temporary reprieve in this controversy, but the legal tussle that follows this ‘battle’ is expected to impact his future in films. Whether he can emerge from the incident unscathed remains to be seen.
