Head constable Mr. Sudhakar aged 37, filed a complaint against a group of unruly fans of film star Darshan for allegedly assaulting him and his associates while they were on duty outside the actor’s house on his birthday on Friday. Mr. Sudhakar, who sustained fractures and was admitted to hospital, said a large group of men who were inebriated tried to barge into Darshan’s house to wish him. The police had barricaded the area around the actor’s house. However, the unruly group damaged the barricades and pelted stones, water bottles, slippers, and even helmets at the police who were trying to stop them. The situation was brought under control with the help of additional reinforcement who dispersed the gathering after a lathi charge. Sudhakar’s colleagues also sustained minor injuries. The R.R. Nagar police have taken up a case against Darshan’s fans.
