Crime is on a rise in this country. And it is affecting all sections of the society.

Yesterday at around 8pm, hooligans attacked and mercilessly beat up actor Suyyash Rai (Pyaar Ki Yeh Ek Kahaani, Splitsvilla).

The actor shared his harrowing experience exclusively with Tellychakkar.com.  

He shared, “Yesterday, while driving back to Goregaon from Powai on the national highway, I was surrounded and targeted by some goons. It all happened when a BEST bus came on my way all of a sudden and to protect my car I applied brakes instantly. But there was one more car behind mine’s which thought I was playing around thus dodged dangerously and overtook my car.”

He continued: “The entire tamasha didn’t end there. The car went on to block my way. Another car joined in and men got down from the vehicles and walked towards me. I rolled down my car’s window to speak but they asked me to get out of the car. As soon as I got out 15 to 20 men started hitting me with the sticks.”

Horrifying!!!

“It was sad that no one came to help me. Finally after a while one guy from the crowd came to stop them. But those men kept abusing me and said that they belonged to some political party and one should never mess with them. I have bruises all over my body. It’s God’s blessings that I got saved otherwise I would have been dead. My only question is that how can people have rods and sticks in their cars and roam around. Just because you belong to a political party you can’t misuse your powers. It’s very sad that they gang up and beat a guy for no reason. This incident has really shocked me and I hope justice is served to me.”

So what action have you taken against them? “I have noted down the car numbers and also know the political party they belong from. After the incident I directly went to Jogeshwari based Meghwadi police station and file an FIR. I am waiting for cops to take action.”

Suyyash, we hope the issue gets sorted soon!
