Is Kannada filmdom Sandalwood going along the lines of Bollywood? We have heard of speeding cars going over sleeping people on footpaths in Bollywood. This one is not that extreme an event. Actress Maithriya just slapped the traffic police constable at West of Chord Road junction. The Vijayanagar police arrested the actress for three offences, assaulting the cop on duty and crossing the signal light.

Actress Mythriya has acted in films like 'Surya the Great', is currently working in 'Maalinga', has finished her assignment in 'Teekuchi' in Tamil and she is a popular model too. It all happened when Mythriya and her sister, along with two others were travelling in a car near West of Chord Road, to attend a friend's marriage. The actress, who was travelling at a high speed, jumped the signal. She was stopped by the local traffic police constable Shivakumar. When questioned, Mythriya argued with the police and even went on to slap the traffic constable.

While Mythriya complained that the police constable misbehaved with her and that is the only reason she slapped him, Shivakumar refutes this tale and says that he just stopped the car and Mythrea who was upset, attacked him for no reason.
