Bengaluru, May 14: Kannada film actress Mythriya Gowda was awarded with two years’ imprisonment by a city court on Friday, May 13 for assaulting a traffic policeman on duty at Basaveshwaranagar in 2011. Her sister and two relatives were sentenced with one year imprisonment each for the same offence.

As per details of the case, Mythriya Gowda was driving the car on the day of the assault. Her sister Supriya and two relatives Roopa and Rekha were travelling with her in the car. Mythriya was stopped by head constable Shivakumar for talking over the phone while driving. Heated arguments took place between Mythriya and Shivakumar. During the arguments, the four women assaulted Shivakumar.

Basaveshwaranagar police had booked the four women or assaulting a government servant along with other charges. They submitted a chargesheet at the fifth additional chief metropolitan magistrate where the trail was held.

The court also slapped Rs 3,000 fine on Mythriya and Rs 2,000 each fine on other three for the same offence in addition to the imprisonment.

The lawyers representing Mythriya immediately applied for the bail, as the sentence of less than 3 years, allowed the convicts to do so. The court granted them bail as per the law.

The convicts are expected to appeal the present verdict in a higher court.

Mythriya had accused union law minister Sadananda Gowda’s son of cheating her and marrying another woman in the past.
