Warrant issued against Tamil actor Jai

Chennai: A city court on Thursday issued warrant against Tamil actor Jai for failing to appear before the court in a drunk driving case. The 34-year-old actor, who is also a professional car racer, was booked by the Adyar traffic investigation wing after he rammed his luxury car onto the Adyar Bridge on the night of September 21.

The actor was supposed to appear before the 4th metropolitan magistrate in the Saidapet courts on Thursday. However, he failed to appear following which the senior civil judge, L Abraham Lincoln issued a non bailable warrant against the actor. The next hearing is slated for Friday.
