GUWAHATI: Assamese actress Nandini Kashyap who was arrested in connection with a hit-and-run case in Guwahati in which a 21-year-old engineering student was killed, will be produced before the court on Friday, officials said.
The two-day police custody of the accused actress has ended and the police will produce her before the court of Chief Judicial Magistrate in Kamrup district.
According to police sources, the bail petition of Kashyap will be opposed by the investigative agency and extended police custody will be sought.
Meanwhile, a prominent theatre group in the city has cancelled its agreement with Nandini Kashyap following the hit-and-run incident.
The 21-year-old engineering student, Samiul Haque, who was critically injured in a hit-and-run incident, succumbed to his injuries on Tuesday evening, prompting Guwahati Police to arrest Nandini Kashyap.
The fatal accident occurred in the wee hours of July 26 in the city’s Dakshingaon area and the actress did not stop to take the injured youth to hospital and just drove away.
Samiul was returning home from his part-time job at a streetlight installation site when he was allegedly struck by a Bolero SUV.
Kashyap, who had initially appeared before police on the morning of July 26, was interrogated and released on a Personal Recognisance (PR) bond.
She was summoned again on July 27 for further questioning and subsequently the cops let her go.
Her arrest came hours after Samiul died in the hospital on Tuesday.
