Court gives verdict in the case against Vijaya Kumar

Cochin, Jan.20 (NR): Actor Vijaya Kumar has been sentenced to three months in prison and a fine of one lakh seventy thousand rupees by the Aluva High Court.

The court has granted one month's time for the actor to appeal to a higher court.

Vijaya Kumar has acted in several Malayalam films that includes the hugely successful 'Thalashtanam' in which he played the major lead. He would also be seen in 'Drona', the Mammootty film expected to release next week.
