Actor Vimal sentenced in Rs 4.5 crore case
24 Jul
Summary
- Actor Vimal received a one-year jail sentence.
- The sentence is for a Rs 4.5 crore cheque bounce case.
- The jail term is stayed pending an appeal.
Actor Vimal has been sentenced to one year of imprisonment by a Chennai court in a Rs 4.5 crore cheque bounce case. The verdict has garnered significant attention within the Tamil film industry.
The case stems from the production of the film 'Mannar Vagaiyara.' Vimal allegedly took funds from a finance company and issued a Rs 4.5 crore cheque as loan repayment. The cheque bounced due to insufficient funds, leading the lender to file a case.
Despite the conviction, Vimal has received a temporary reprieve. The trial court has stayed the execution of the prison term, granting him the statutory period to appeal the judgment to a higher court. This means his immediate arrest has been averted.
The outcome of the case now rests on the decision of the appellate court. Vimal, who has starred in numerous successful Tamil films, awaits this crucial ruling.
