Thiruvananthapuram (Kerala) [India], August 22 : Union Minister of State (MoS) Suresh Gopi's son, Madhav Suresh, and Youth Congress leader Vinod Krishna were taken into custody by the Museum Police last night following a traffic altercation.
As per an official, "The incident occurred when Madhav, driving from Sasthamangalam towards Vellayambalam, confronted Vinod, who had taken a U-turn and was approaching from the opposite direction. Due to a lack of space, an argument broke out, with Madhav seen in a video blocking Vinod's vehicle and engaging in a heated exchange."
Police arrived at the scene and, based on witness accounts, detained both for questioning. While a section of bystanders alleged Madhav was under the influence, police tests confirmed he was not intoxicated. Madhav, in turn, alleged that Vinod was using his phone while driving.
"Both sides were asked if they wished to file complaints, but later chose not to pursue the matter. They were released after being counselled," the Museum Police said.
Vellayambalam Sasthamangalam Road is a crowded place. Following the argument, traffic was affected as people gathered there.
Meanwhile, people identified the young actor Madhav from his two newly released movies in the theatre.
