According to a report in The Times Of India, “Jai rammed his car onto the Adyar Flyover on September 21. He was arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol and was later released on bail. He was booked under Section 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.”

When he was arrested, an official statement from the police said: “This was not the first time that the actor was caught for drunk driving. In 2014, there was a similar incident after he rammed his car into the wall of Guindy bridge. We are also planning to ban his driving licence.”
