South Indian actor Vinod Kumar arrested in attempted murder case

Actor Vinod Kumar (alias Vinod Alva), who is known for his roles in Telugu films like Police Brothers, Seetharathnamgari Abbayi and Karthavyam, was arrested by police in Puttur on Tuesday. He was held in connection with an attempt to murder case of Sachchithananda, his former manager who handled his financial affairs. 

Sachchithananda left his job on 7 March this year and allegedly filed a case against Vinod Kumar, seeking remuneration for the services rendered. On failing to pay the amount, the actor along with his close aide Uday Chikkittaya, planned to kill Sachchithananda. He had reportedly planned a road accident, which didn't work out as Sachchithananda survived. 

Reports state that Sachchithananda was travelling on a motorcycle with another person to a village on some work, when suddenly a jeep hit their vehicle. Sachchithanda, who escaped the attack with minor injuries, filed a complaint against Vinod Kumar and Uday at Puttur Police Station.

Following the complaint, both the actor and his friend were arrested by the cops in Puttur. A case has been registered against Vinod Kumar and Uday Chikkittaya at Puttur Police Station under IPC sections 120 P (Criminal Conspiracy) and 307 (Attempt To Murder). Assistant Superintendent of Police CB Ryshyanth is said to be supervising the investigation.
