Custody battle: Actor meets police commissioner

CHENNAI: Actor Vanitha Vijayakumar, on Saturday, approached the city police commissioner with the complaint that her ex-husband Akash was refusing give her custody of their son, despite a Madras High Court order.The order stipulates that the couple’s son Vijay Shri Hari would spend five days a week with Akash and two days with Vanitha. However, Vanitha alleged that on Friday evening when she went to pick Vijay up from Akash’s Virugambakkam residence, the latter refused to send the child with her.Speaking to media persons after meeting the Commissioner, she said had been assured of action in the case but if she did not get justice, she would go on a fast.In fact, when she arrived at the Commissionerate, police officials were under the impression that she was about to go on a fast and stopped her at the entrance. She was later allowed inside after she told them she had an appointment to meet the joint commissioner.The actor had lodged a complaint with the commissioner four days ago. The complaint had been forwarded to the Nungambakkam Assistant Commissioner but reportedly there had been no action on the issue.
