However, Raja, who became a familiar name after his appearance in the popular reality show “Big Boss 2″, told media persons that when he reached the hospital, he was “thronged by my fans who were seeking autographs. However, I tried to avoid them”.
He is accused of “disruption of peace” under section 151 of the Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC).
“The assistant commissioner of police, using his magisterial powers, released him on bail on a surety bond of Rs.5,000,” a police officer told IANS.
Raja came here from Delhi Thursday and was staying at a relative’s house in Chitrakoot area.
“Raja claims that he had come to the Fortis Hospital in Jawahar Circle area around 2 a.m. Friday to see a patient admitted here. He was in a car and completely under the influence of alcohol. However, during investigation, it has come up that no one known to Raja was admitted in the hospital,” ACP Rajendra Singh told IANS.
Police said that the actor was with a girl and had parked his car near the hospital. “When the security guards asked him to move, he got into the brawl with them,” said Singh.
“There was a police control room vehicle stationed outside the hospital. When the policemen there tried to intervene, he started misbehaving with them also,” said an officer.
Raja was then taken into custody and brought to the Jawahar Circle police station.
